Animation of a flyby of Saturn, showing aurorae around both its poles. Aurorae are formed when charged particles in the solar wind are channelled to a planet's poles by its magnetic field, where they collide with atmospheric gas molecules, exciting them and causing light emission. On Earth they are seen as the northern and southern lights.<br>Restrictions: | |
