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 ...

Netherlands-based director Sander van den Berg has taken images from NASA's Cassini orbiter and Voyager spacecraft to create an amazing new video of Saturn entitled "Outer Space." At first, the ...

Cassini mission data shows Saturn’s moon Enceladus generates Alfvén waves extending over 504,000 km, circulating energy and momentum through Saturn’s magnetosphere, according to Universe Today and ...

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

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

When we imagine finding alien life elsewhere in the solar system, we usually think of little green people (or more likely microbes) living on the surface of a rocky Earth-like world. Most of our ...
