From the start, Cassini provided us with incredible views of these icy worlds, including Titan, Enceladus, Mimas, Dione, and others. Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, stood out as a primary object of ...

Dione may not be as famous as Titan or Enceladus, but this Saturnian moon is quietly fascinating. Beneath its icy surface lie strange wispy terrains and ancient scars from unknown forces.

The rocky moon, by contrast, bakes or chills in light and shadow. What's more, a lunar day-night cycle approximates an Earth month, so its surface is exposed to light and darkness for longer periods.

On Monday, Cassini zips past the moon Dione for its final time. Cassini's closest approach, within 295 miles of the icy, crater-pocked surface, will occur at 2:33 p.m. EDT.

Saturn’s moon Rhea has features that look somewhat similar, but their distribution is very different than on Dione. The lines on Dione follow a straight line, but those on Rhea are more randomly ...

The scientists have discovered mysterious straight bright stripes on Saturn's moon Dione. According to the research by Planetary Science Institute Associate Research Scientist Alex Patthoff, the ...

Mysterious straight bright stripes have been discovered on Saturn’s moon Dione, says research by Planetary Science Institute Associate Research Scientist Alex Patthoff. The origins of these ...

Saturn’s moon Dione is streaked with long bright stripes, and no one knows how they got there. “They’re just really bizarre,” say study coauthor and planetary scientist Emily Martin of the ...

The battered face of Saturn's frigid moon Dione gets a close-up in a gorgeous photo by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Though the image was released Monday (March 12), Cassini took it on July 23, 2012 ...

A subsurface ocean lies deep within Saturn's moon Dione, offering a long lived habitable zone for microbial life, suggests a new data from the Cassini mission. Two other moons of Saturn, Titan and ...
