TL;DR Summary

Voyager 2 captured a historic image of Saturn 42 years ago, showing convective clouds and storms in the planet's northern hemisphere. The image also revealed the moons Dione and Enceladus, with recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope indicating that Enceladus is emitting plumes of watery vapor into space. Voyager 2's sensitive cameras allowed for a detailed study of Saturn's turbulent atmosphere, including a storm with winds blowing at 1,100 mph. Saturn is currently at its brightest and best for viewing with a telescope.
