A spectacular bright light emitting from the north pole of Saturn has been claimed by researchers to be a result of the planet's magnetic field. Images of the light were captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and some of the flashes of light are being reported by the researchers to be travelling over three times faster than Saturn's rotation.

A regular interaction has been noticed among charged particles that are emitted from the sun and the magnetic field of the planet.

Composed primarily of hydrogen, Saturn's atmosphere shines bright in the ultraviolet wavelength. Scientists have concluded that planet's magnetotail is collapsing as the light in the images is spinning around the North Pole of Saturn.

Earth also has its magnetotail, which extends out from its magnetosphere and it also trails the motion of earth.

A trail is left by the magnetotail behind each planet it dwells on. There are two lobes of the tail, called the southern and the northern tail lobes. Electrified gas from the Sun is found in the magnetotail and it becomes illuminated due to disruptions in the planet's magnetic field after collision takes place between charged particles and the gas.

And destruction of the Saturn's magnetic tail has been cited as a reason for the creation of auroral lights, said astronomers from the University of Leicester.

The leader of the Hubble observations, Astronomer Jonathan Nichols, said that a team of scientists have been able to witness huge turmoil and reconfiguration in the magnetotail with the help of the images.

"These images are spectacular and dynamic, because the auroras are jumping around so quickly. We can see that the magnetotail is undergoing huge turmoil and reconfiguration", said astronomer Jonathan Nichols, who led the Hubble observations.
