Hubble Reveals The Beauty And Mystery Of Saturn’s Rings

“Right now, in Earth’s skies, Saturn appears at its biggest and brightest. Just look to the southeastern skies (from the northern hemisphere), slightly east of bright Jupiter. With Earth between the Sun and Saturn, it’s poised for spectacular viewing. But the true star of Saturn is its main rings, now tilted for excellent views.”

I wish we had a dedicated mission, constantly, for each of the outer planets. There’s so much out there to explore and learn about, and there’s no view like the view from actually being there. But in the absence of that, the Hubble Space Telescope is a very, very pleasing consolation prize, capable of imaging these worlds every year at incredible resolution, even from over a billion kilometers away.

Take a look at these views of Saturn, and marvel at the incredible ring system. If you want to see it for yourself, now’s the perfect time!

The World’s Smallest Snowman stands less than 3 microns tall.  The snowman was fabricated from three 0.9 micron silica spheres stacked with the use of electron beam lithography.  The eyes and mouth were cut with a focused ion beam while the arms and nose were sculpted with platinum.
