About The Object
Object NameSaturn
Object DescriptionPlanet with Satellites
DistanceThe semi-major axis of Saturn's orbit about the sun is 9.5 astronomical units (A.U.) or roughly 1.4 billion km.
DimensionsThe planet (without rings) has a diameter of roughly 75,000 miles (120,000 km) at the equator.
About The Data
Data DescriptionThe Hubble images and videos were created from HST data from proposal : K. Noll, Z. Levay, M. Mutchler, L. Frattare, C. Christian, F. Hamilton, and H. Bond (The Hubble Heritage Team/STScI/AURA). B. Januszewski (STScI), M.H. Wong (UC Berkeley/STScI), and C. Go (Phillipines) also helped with image conception, proposal preparation/processing and data analysis.
InstrumentHST>WFPC2
Exposure DatesFebruary 24, 2009 15:27 UT
FiltersF439W (B), F555W (V), and F675W (R)
About The Image
Color InfoThe image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFPC2 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F439W (B) Green: F555W (V) Red: F675W (R)
