This is the first image ever taken of bright aurorae at Saturn's northern and southern poles, as seen in far-ultraviolet light by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WF/PC2) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Saturn's gasses glow at far-ultraviolet wavelengths (110-160 manometers) which are absorbed by ozone in the Earth's atmosphere, and so can only be seen from space-based telescopes. The image was taken on October 9th, 1994, when Saturn was at a distance of 831 million miles (1.3 billion kilometers) from Earth. Enhancement of 3c0448.
