Bright Rings
Featured on July 19, 2020
Saturn's rings shine brightly in this 2019 view from Hubble Space Telescope. The rings are still at a good angle as seen from Earth in 2020, making Saturn shine especially bright. The rings span about three-quarters of the distance from Earth to the Moon and consist of countless particles of ice, rock, and dust. [NASA/ESA/A. Simon (GSFC)/M.H. Wong (Univ.
