The Hubble telescope has taken a  new picture  of Saturn,  with two of its icy moons clearly visible.   The shot was taken as part of the Outer Planets Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) project,  which is helping scientists understand the atmospheric dynamics and evolution of our solar system’s gas giant planets.   In Saturn’s case,  astronomers continue tracking shifting weather patterns and storms.
