If Titan formed from a merger, the researchers found, its eccentric orbit could destabilize smaller moons closer to Saturn, ...

A single scenario could explain some of the odd features of Saturn's cosmic neighborhood. A project that set out to seek the origin of the planet's rings and why Titan’s orbit is expanding may have ...

New NASA supercomputer simulations show that Saturn's rings may have been formed by a 'massive collision' of icy moons. Credits: NASA/Durham University/Glasgow University/Jacob Kegerreis/Luís Teodoro ...

Of the solar system’s planets, Saturn piques the human imagination with its signature rings and impressive moon count of 274. But compelling new research reignites theories of an ancient collision ...

Behind the serene, glowing beauty of Saturn’s rings lies a story of cosmic chaos. Once thought to be as old as the planets themselves, these icy bands may actually be surprisingly young, and their ...

NASA released new images of Saturn's rings showing "unprecedented detail." The images were captured by the Cassini spacecraft while it made ring-grazing orbits around the planet. The orbits began on ...

PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has detected a faint, partial ring orbiting with one small moon of Saturn, and has confirmed the presence of another partial ring orbiting with a second ...

Imaging scientists on Cassini have spent their summer vacations having more fun than kids at a carnival. Analyzing fantastic new results from Cassini’s first season of prime ring viewing, they are ...

New research has cast doubt on the long-held belief that Saturn's rings are relatively young, suggesting instead that they could date back 4.5 billion years to when the planet formed. The study, led ...
