Double shot

Double shotNew images have revealed something on Saturn never seen on any other member of the solar system. In this still photo and a video, taken early last year by the Hubble Space Telescope and released 11 February, both of Saturn's poles are showing auroral displays. Though the auroras are simultaneous, they aren't identical, and scientists say the differences will help uncover new information about the strength and behavior of Saturn's magnetic field.
