Dancing Auroras of Saturn

Dancing Auroras of Saturn - Saturnian auroras can change not only with the angle of the Sun, but also as the planet rotates. Furthermore, some auroral changes appear related to waves in Saturn's magnetosphere likely caused by Saturn's moons. This image is a false-colored image that shows Saturn in three bands of infrared light. The rings reflect relatively blue sunlight, while the planet itself glows in comparatively low energy red. A band of southern aurora in visible in green. — at lmage Credit: VIMS Team/U. Arizona/U. Leicester/JPL/ASI/NASA.
