The planet Saturn is pictured 6 times in a horizonal column, labelled by years with 2020 at the top and 2025 at the bottom. As the years progress, Saturn’s ring appear less prominent. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
这张图以水平列方式展示了土星在六个不同年份的影像，从上到下依次标注为2020年至2025年。随着年份推移，土星的光环逐渐变得不那么显眼。有关更多详细信息，请参阅说明。
The planet Saturn is shown many times down the composite image. The top image was taken in 2020 and shows Saturn’s rings very clearly, whereas the bottom image was taken in 2025 and the rings are only visible as a dark line across the planet. The six images show the progression year by year. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
土星在合成图像中多次出现。上方图像拍摄于2020年，清晰地展现了土星环；下方图像拍摄于2025年，土星环仅以一条暗线的形式横跨整个土星。这六幅图像展现了土星环逐年变化的轨迹。有关更多详细信息，请参阅说明。
