Saturn In Natural Colours (1) & Saturns magnetosphere (2) : 1- The ring swirling around Saturn consists of chunks of ice and dust. Saturn itself is made of ammonia ice and methane gas. The little dark spot on Saturn is the shadow from Saturns moon Enceladus. The NASA /ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided images of Saturn in many colors, from black-and-white, to orange, to blue, green, and red. But in this picture, image processing specialists have worked to provide a crisp, extremely accurate view of Saturn, which highlights the planets pastel colors. Bands of subtle colour - yellows, browns, grays - distinguish differences in the clouds over Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system. 2- Structure of saturns magnetosphere Credits: 1- Hubble Heritage Team (AURA /STScI /NASA /ESA )
