| The above image is a color composite made from short exposures, showing the disk of Uranus with some cloud features. Just to the left and right of the color image of the disk are a combination of deeper, panchromatic images showing Uranus's inner rings; the brightest is the Epsilon Ring. The satellite Mab is visible as eight dots adjacent to the outer ring on the right side. Credit: NASA |

The Hubble Space Telescope photographed a new pair of rings around Uranus and two new, small moons orbiting the planet. The largest ring is twice the diameter of the planet's previously known rings; the rings are so far from the planet that they are being called Uranus' "second ring system." One of the new moons shares its orbit with one of the rings. Analysis of the Hubble data also reveals the orbits of Uranus' family of inner moons have changed significantly over the past decade.

| Radiation of CH4 and CO2 molecules with sunlight leads to the formation of complex organic molecules, including organic acids and other oxygenated hydrocarbons. Ultimately, these molecules condense into aerosol particles, and may have led to the formation of a global haze layer on the early Earth. Image is an illustrative composite prepared by Melissa G. Trainer using images of Titan and Earth. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech |

| An artist´ impression of Ganesa Macula, a mountain on Saturn´ moon Titan believed to be an "ice volcano" that periodically belches "lava" containing liquid water. Research by University of Arizona graduate student Catherine Neish suggests this water may react with organic compounds in Titan´ atmosphere to create complex molecules similar to those on the early Earth.
