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 ...

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.

A major study by an international team of researchers using data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft has revealed a lattice-like structure of crisscrossing reflected waves that flow downstream ...

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 ...
