Explanation: Above, the ringed planet Saturn shines in x-rays. Otherwise beyond the range of human vision, the eerie x-ray view was created by overlaying a computer generated outline of the gas giant's disk and ring system on a false-color picture of
smoothed, reconstructed x-ray data from the orbiting Chandra Observatory. The data represent the first detection of Saturn at x-ray energies and held some surprises for researchers. For s
