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 ...

During its final Grand Finale phase, Cassini performed death-defying maneuvers through Saturn’s rings and over its poles, ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

The Science: Europa has been considered as a top contender for alien life for even longer than Enceladus, thanks to its massive under-ice liquid water oceans. It also displays water vapor plumes ...

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

In a paper to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, scientists from SETI Institute, Southwest Research Institute, Caltech and the Observatoire de Paris argue that Saturn’s largest moon is not ...

Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of ...

How can Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, influence its much larger parent planet? This is what a recent study published in the ...

A new analysis of data from four instruments aboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has demonstrated the crucial role that Saturn’s ...

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 ...

Detection of sulfur in a distant star system gives researchers new insight into planet formation ...

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, they spin at similar speeds, and radiate internal heat similarly. Heck, ...
