    Mysterious Infrared Aurora Glows at Saturn's North Pole

    This stunning infrared image of Saturn's northern region shows a luminous aurora with the planet's mottled rings below.

What's really weird is that astronomers aren't really sure what's causing it, since this aurora doesn't conform to known models of aurora formation. More »

In this newly released image, Titan peeks out from behind Saturn while another moon, Tethys, streaks past the planet's shadowy rings. Click through for a gorgeous Titan gallery. More »
