Hubble Captures the Start of a New Spoke Season at Saturn
New images of Saturn from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope herald the start of the planet's "spoke season" surrounding its equinox, when enigmatic features appear across its rings.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)
On Saturn, mysterious “spokes” appear on its rings near the planet’s seasonal equinoxes.
Scientists suspect they are caused by Saturn’s magnetic field interacting with solar wind from the Sun, but this hypothesis is unconfirmed: https://go.nasa.gov/3RN8SZd
