Other bright features persist and rotate around the pole, but at a rate slower than Saturn's rotation. "Some bright spots come and go from image to image. "This is our best look yet at the rapidly changing patterns of auroral emission," Wayne Pryor, a Cassini co-investigator at Central Arizona College in Arizona, said in a statement. Earlier images have also shown that a bright aurora spot could be associated with the moon Enceladus, NASA officials added. In one part of the new video, a bright part of the aurora moves in time with the position of Saturn's moon Mimas, NASA officials said. The company posted on Twitter a video snippet from one of Resiliences cameras that captures our. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI)īy analyzing the new images, scientists have also found more evidence that auroras can be created through new connections in magnetic field lines. The view from up there is incredible, as SpaceX showed us early Thursday morning (Sept. This image from Cassini's imaging cameras shows particularly bright auroras on Nov. The height of this particular part of the aurora is about 870 miles (1,400 kilometers).
This is how the auroras would look to the human eye. NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows curtain-like auroras at Saturn that are red at the bottom and purple at the top.
