Saturn. Hubble Space Telescope image of the planet Saturn with its rings and two of its moons visible. Here,the planet is viewed at an angle,while its rings are seen edge-on and thus appear as a thin circular band. These rings comprise a sheet of material (rocks coated with ice) orbiting around the equator of Saturn. Saturn itself is a ball of gas with its gaseous surface forming coloured bands. Two of Saturns nine moons are visible as white dots: Tethys (at upper left) and Dione (at lower right) | |
