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 ...

JWST observations of Saturn's atmosphere revealed unprecedented details of its aurora and upper atmosphere, including previously unseen, complex structures. In the ionosphere (1100 km altitude), dark, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered strange "dark beads "above a four-armed star pattern in Saturn's atmosphere. The surprising structures are unlike anything scientists have seen before, ...

How far it is from the sun: 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers), on average How big it is: 72,400 miles (116,500 km) across, or almost 10 times the size of Earth. How many moons it has: At ...

The puzzling behavior of Titan's atmosphere has been revealed. The team has shown that the thick, hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon doesn't spin in line with its surface, but instead wobbles ...

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope observed dark beads and lopsided star patterns drifting over Saturn’s northern regions. Reading time: Reading time 3 minutes Saturn already tops the ...

A study of Saturn's atmospheric structure using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed complex and mysterious features unseen before on any planet in our Solar System. A study of ...

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

Saturn’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere constitute a complex system in which neutral and charged particles interact under the influence of external energy inputs, internal dynamics and ...

As detailed in a new paper published in The Planetary Science Journal, a team of scientists analyzed 13 years’ worth of thermal infrared observations recorded by NASA and the European Space Agency’s ...
