“ banding in rrn hemisphere remains prounced as seen in Hubble's 2019 observations, with several bands slightly changing colour from year to year. ringed planet's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with traces of ammonia, methane, water vapour, and hydrocarbons that give it a yellowish-brown colour,” NASA wrote on its website.

In addition, it also revealed that Hubble spotted a slight reddish haze over rrn hemisphere speculating that it may be due to increased sunlight, “which could eir change atmospheric circulation or perhaps remove ices from aerosols in atmosphere”.  It also presented an alternate ory stating that increased sunlight in summer months probably leads to aa change in amount of photochemical haze produced on planet.

Only a few days ago, Hubble Telescope had  shared an im portraying sparkling stars of a ‘dwarf galaxy’ located around 15 million light-years away. While in picture or galaxies’ appear to be ‘sprinkled across frame’, scientists ticed that towards lower right corner of frame, two elongated streaks, trails of asteroids, are faintly visible. While sharing im on Twitter, Hubble informed that ‘citizen scientists’ captured ‘one galaxy and two asteroids’.
