SATURN

For the longest time, Saturn was regarded as the Solar System's furthest planet. Galileo Galilei essentially was the first to spot it through his telescope. What he thought were two odd bodies on either side of it were its rings. Winds whip and heat rises out of it, which give it its gold coloring.
