Mars Before & During a Dust Storm 🌌

These Hubble images (June & Sept 2001) show Mars transforming as a global dust storm enveloped the planet. Dust storms block sunlight, heat the atmosphere, and obscure surface features—a phenomenon observed for over a century.

"Saturn’s Rings in Ultraviolet 🌌
Hubble captured Saturn’s rings at a 27° tilt, offering a rare view of its atmosphere & UV details invisible in other wavelengths. This stunning view happens once every ~30 years due to Saturn’s 29.5-year orbit.

Interesting
These are the planets to scale not only in size, but also in their tilt and rotation speed. Pluto and Ceres (a couple of dwarf planets) are included whether you like them or not 🫣

Check this out wow
At 4207 meters above sea level on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, photographer Andrew McCarthy set out on a challenging climb. His goal was to capture a rare sight, Saturn slipping behind the moon. From the peak of the dormant volcano, he finally witnessed and photographed the stunning event.

One of my favorite memories is seeing #Saturn through a telescope for the first time, marveling at its rings and thinking about the photons that traveled 900 million miles over 8 hours to reach my eye. #Astronomy #Space #Wonder

Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, has a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust, with water plumes ejecting organic compounds. Heat from tidal flexing keeps the ocean warm, making it a top candidate in the search for microbial life #Astrobiology #SpaceExploration #NASA
