What is the habitability potential on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary ...

The strong pull of Saturn's gravity stretches and strains huge cracks on one of the planet's icy moons that spray icy, geyser-like jets, a new study finds. New images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, ...

Though the rings appear solid from afar, they’re actually a dynamic, rotating system of icy debris. One theory suggests they may be remnants of a moon or comet torn apart by Saturn's immense gravity.

When it comes to voyages of discovery, NASA’s venerable Cassini mission is about as good as it gets. In six years of cruising around the planet Saturn and its neighborhood, the Cassini spacecraft has ...

The Gravity Assist Podcast is hosted by NASA's Director of Planetary Science, Jim Green, who each week talks to some of the greatest planetary scientists on the planet, giving a guided tour through ...

Saturn is losing its iconic rings at the 'worst case scenario' rate, estimated from Voyager 1 & 2 observations made decades ago. The rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ...

We still don’t know exactly how the rings around Saturn formed, but scientists who study Saturn’s rings have come up with a couple of ideas. One common theory many scientists agree upon is that Saturn ...

Previous theoretical attempts to infer Saturn’s rotation period have relied on wind observations derived from cloud tracking at the observed cloud level 6. One theoretical approach was based on ...
