Mysterious glow over Saturn

I wonder how they are different from the aurora borealis?

i think that they should give more information on this because it seem like something really intresting

wow they have rings now auroras wonder what else is in that mysterious planet?

this is very interesting because
the glow can be like something from
like life on there and it might be able to help
earth or do something bad and i really hope its good

COOL!

With all the technology and money spent on NASA, you would figure they would know exactly what it is, unless the government does not want us to know anything, but this is nothing new if it were so.

Green hmm... Wonder if it is from space leprechauns. Either way they should look into it.

Reminds me of the Green Cloud that enveloped the Earth while a comet was passing in that 80's movie with Emilio Estevez, "Maximum Overdrive".

In the movie, it caused all machines in the world to come alive and start killing everyone.

A must see.

lol

Insufficient data does not compute - Star Trek

Chaos & creation -ya gotta love these peeks we get at worlds beyond our solar system. It's about as far out as you can get - when it comes to the true magnitude of atronomy.

too stunning

I'm all for the search for knowledge and I applaud NASA's progress in the past. However, because of the new political scenery that America has elected I would bet that NASA will loose their funding. These new socialists will want to spread this money around the world instead on something as frivolous as knowledge. AAAAARRRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

who cares about the green light around saturns ass?

We haven't had the technology to study these planets in any great depth until recently. So we're just babes in the woods here - there is unlimited potential to learn things we haven't even imagined yet. The pics are lovely, and the article is a good reminder that far from knowing it all, we are just getting started.

Hmm, first we have the unusual hexacon cloud formation on Saturn, and now we have this "unexplained" glow, which incidentally, if going by the picture, surrounds that same cloud formation.

Kiltedandfree, dont you think that we should master our own planet before we go around ruining others? i personally think that yes, space should be monitored, but i think exploration of space is a waste untill we have figured out and solved our problems here first. sure we should observe but there are more pressing concerns here on our planet to deal with.

Many, many people are studying all of the current problems that plague Earth and it's organisms. But everyone can't be doing the same thing. So let's let NASA explore because so many new discoveries have enhanced life on Earth and scientific discovery and the search for knowledge has to be a human endeavor because just maybe we might need another planet to start populating if the human race is to continue.

So mastering our own planet also means looking every where we can for solutions. Even on other planets, or just out there. I'm afraid that true seat of our human condition reside in the human heart and that is what needs to be changed before any progress of mankind can be made.

Too much greed, sloth, gluttony, envy, pride, lust and wrath in the human heart and mind to be able to cure all of humanities problems. There needs to be hope and exploration of the cosmos gives that very thing. We should of course apply as much as we can to humanities problems but throwing money at these problems just doesn't work. Taking the money from NASA to apply somewhere else just won't work.

I've heard the tired old argument that "shouldn't we spend our money here at home on the homeless, starvation, famine, etc. before going to space"? Again, heaping money on the problems won't change a thing.

Watch the next 4 years and see the money taken out of working middle class pockets to fund grand schemes of global social programs and just see American middle class getting poorer as the upper classes, including democrats getting richer and the bottom getting nothing but words of promise and change. Soon they will realize that this administration doesn't care about those they say they champion, they need a poor class and they need the money from the working class via taxes to fund their visions. We will give more money to third world dictators like Iran or North Korea in an attempt to get them to like us. Because they are afraid the world thinks of us as terrorists, and maybe they do, but only through our own media has the concepts grown. Not because of what our military men and woman have done, but what our media has chosen to show the world because it sells papers and air time. But I digress.

I have to wonder if it won't take longer to master humanity's problems than this planet has left to live. Best to check out contingencies....LOL....

It just goes to show ya that man has been here a very short time and has a lot to learn, that he knows very little considering that the universe is millions, maybe billions of years old. But don't try and tell man that he would be totally appalled.

the awe inspireing magnetic enviroment.

Definitely cool! Especially when I'm drowsy and easily amused like I am now! He-he!

Hmm... I wonder?

Sit back and ENJOY the beauty! People forget to do that these days.
If we find out it's harmful, then we can collectively freakout.

Cosmos - this is my way of life
