Look out for "Earthshine" brightening the shadowed region of the lunar disk close to the new moon phase.
A new study hints that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was created around 400 million years ago, when two massive moons smashed ...
A massive upheaval in the Saturnian system could have also led to the moon Hyperion.
At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly ...
If Titan formed from a merger, the researchers found, its eccentric orbit could destabilize smaller moons closer to Saturn, ...
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 ...
Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...
NASA's workhorse Saturn orbiter Cassini has just beamed back stunning new views of the ringed planet's dazzling moons, including the probe's closest-ever pass over the ice geysers of Enceladus. The ...
Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.
A study led by SETI Institute scientist Matija Ćuk proposes that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. This study was accepted for ...
The evidence that an ocean-covered moon orbiting around Saturn could support life just got a little stronger. Enceladus, a small moon harboring a vast ocean beneath its icy surface, has long been ...
Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.
