NASA posted new photos of Saturn alongside an image of the planet Peridea on social media, which NASA noted bears a resemblance to the ringed planet.

NASA wrote that Our solar system formed a long, long time ago in a galaxy right here, “creating planets and moons that share similarities with those in a galaxy far, far away".

“extragalactic planet where Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn are banished, later found by Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren."

“Peridea looks similar to Saturn, our solar system's most grand ringed planet. Image description: Saturn appears in shades of tan, its rings grey and surrounded by black space," it added.

NASA noted that Mars is covered in dry red, brown, and tan regolith (soil) with dunes, mountains, and plains.

The Valles Marineris canyon system takes up a significant portion of the planet's width. The background is the blackness of space.

mage Description: The United States, Mexico, and Central America appear in the center of the image in tan and green.

The Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans appear in dark and light blue.
