Saturn's Auroras - NASA
May 14, 2008 · Saturn was 810 million miles (1.3 billion kilometers) away when the Hubble Space Telescope took this ultraviolet image of the planet, revealing a vivid auroral display rising thousands of miles above the cloud tops over both of the planet’s poles.
Swirling winds of Saturn trigger never-before-seen auroras
Feb 25, 2022 · Some of Saturn’s auroras are triggered by swirling winds within the planet’s own atmosphere, a completely new type of aurora not seen on any other planet before, new research suggests.
Saturn’s High-altitude Winds Generate Extraordinary Aurorae, …
Feb 8, 2022 · A University of Leicester-led team has found that Saturn is unique among planets observed to date in that some of its aurorae are generated by swirling winds within its own atmosphere, and not just from the planet’s surrounding magnetosphere.
