The planet’s banded structure is caused by winds and clouds at different altitudes. Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 observed Saturn on June 20, 2019, as the planet made its closest approach to Earth, at about 845 million miles away.

This is the realm of the giant planets— Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – extending as far as 30 times the distance between Earth and the Sun.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.Music Credits: “Crescent Moon” by Laetitia Frenod [SACEM] via Koka Media [SACEM], Universal Production Music France [SACEM], and Universal Production Music Master VersionHorizontal version.

Hubble Observes Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Changing
Sept. 27, 2021, 5:55 a.m.
Read moreLike the speed of an advancing race car driver, the winds in the outermost “lane” of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot are accelerating – a discovery only made possible by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which has monitored the planet for more than a decade. Researchers analyzing Hubble’s regular “storm reports” found that the average wind speed just within the boundaries of the storm, known as a high-speed ring, has increased by up to 8 percent from 2009 to 2020. In contrast, the winds near the red spot’s innermost region are moving significantly more slowly, like someone cruising lazily on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Read moreDr. Amy Simon has always been fascinated with space. From a young age she dreamed of lifting off in the Space Shuttle, just like her hero Sally Ride. Over the years her interest in space remained, and she eventually found herself working at NASA.Dr. Simon is the Senior Scientist for Planetary Atmospheres Research in the Solar System Exploration Division at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Her scientific research involves the study of the composition, dynamics, and cloud structure in jovian planet atmospheres, primarily from spacecraft observations like the Hubble Space Telescope.Dr. Simon is also involved in multiple robotic flight missions, as well as future mission concept development. She was a co-investigator on the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) and is the Deputy Instrument Scientist for the OSIRIS-REx Visible and near-IR Spectrometer (OVIRS), as well as the Landsat 9 TIRS2 instrument, and the Lucy L by Christian Tschuggnall [AKM] and Michael Edwards [APRA] via Atmosphere Music Ltd.

The Outer Planets: Hubble’s Continuing Legacy
Dec. 15, 2020, 9:55 a.m.
Read moreWhat is OPAL?OPAL (Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy) is a project to obtain long time baseline observations of the outer planets in order to understand their atmospheric dynamics and evolution as gas giants. The yearly observations from OPAL throughout the remainder of Hubble s operation will provide an important legacy of time-domain images for use by planetary scientists. Viewers might notice that some of the images of the same planets appear to be different colors. This is due to the fact that over the years, from Voyager to Hubble, many different instruments, and many different filters have been used. For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.
