"Voyager 2's Historic Space Photo: Saturn's Storm Captured 42 Years Ago"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft captured a historic image of Saturn 42 years ago, showing convective clouds and storms in the planet's northern hemisphere. The false-color image also reveals the moons Dione and Enceladus, with recent observations indicating that Enceladus is emitting plumes of watery vapor into space. Voyager 2 measured winds blowing at 1,100 mph at Saturn's equator. While Voyager 2 wasn't the first probe to image Saturn, it provided more detailed observations due to its sensitive cameras. Saturn is currently visible in the night sky, but a telescope is needed to see its rings.
