Dual Space Telescopes Unveil Multilayer Portrait of Saturn's Turbulent Atmosphere
Two decades-spanning observations from JWST (infrared) and Hubble (visible) provide the most comprehensive, height-resolved view of Saturn to date, capturing the iconic north-polar hexagon and the infrared glow of its rings while revealing how Saturn’s winds and megastorms vary with altitude. The data help scientists understand the planet’s atmospheric dynamics and evolution, with the north pole about to enter 15 years of winter darkness, limiting future high‑resolution views until the 2040s.
