Webb and Hubble telescopes combine forces for a new view of Saturn

The ESA, NASA, and CSA have released new images of Saturn, combining data from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to provide an unprecedented view of the gas giant's atmosphere. The comparison highlights details in Saturn's outer layers, with Webb's infrared view sensing clouds and chemicals at various depths, while Hubble reveals subtle color variations and atmospheric bands. These observations, taken 14 weeks apart, are valuable for tracking atmospheric changes as Saturn transitions through its seasons.
