NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures image showing 'summertime' on Saturn
At a distance of nearly 839 million miles from Earth, Saturn’s mesmeric summertime was captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on July 4. Hubble recorded images of Saturn's northern hemisphere, inclined towards the Earth, and with slight red haze due to the increased sunlight amid summers. As per NASA's statement, the excessive sunlight could impact ice content on the "lord of the rings".

In the stunning image, Saturn was visible as just a spot of bright light with the naked human eye accompanied by two of its moons, Mimas and Enceladus. Moreover, Hubble also found a number of small atmospheric storms, which NASA described as the transient feature that “comes and goes” each year. But the several bands of summer sunlight slightly changed colour from year to year. Nasa said that the mystic “red haze” was either due to the change in atmospheric circulation and perhaps removed ices from aerosols in the atmosphere.
