"Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to solve the mystery of Saturn's apparent changing rotation rate. The study reveals that Saturn's aurora drives a cycle of heat, winds, and electrical currents that affects measurements of the planet's spin. The findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, confirm that the planet's rotation is not actually changing."
