Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining why the rings have a lot of ice and little rock, in contrast to models where a moon strayed inside Saturn’s Roche limit and was pulled apart.

With Area 51 ruled out by President Obama, where might aliens really be hiding? Scientists have now revealed the best candidates.

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 ...

In 2004, NASA scientists proposed that Enceladus, a small frozen moon orbiting Saturn, could hide a global ocean under its ...

“Enceladus, Saturn’s small icy moon, is famous for its water geysers, but its actual impact and interaction with the giant planet has remained partly unknown. This result from Cassini transforms our ...
