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, ...
Saturn's rings are falling in on the planet as icy rain, according to researchers. Scientists say this is occurring due to the planet's intense gravity. Dr. James O’Donoghue, from the Japan Aerospace ...
Researchers have found Saturn’s moon Enceladus has heat circulating beneath its icy crust, meaning the chemistry of biology ...
Saturn's rings might have formed 100 million years ago when one of its icy moons was ripped apart by the planet's gravity. Though Cassini's findings were mostly welcomed, some planetary scientists ...
Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long fascinated scientists, with its active geysers and hidden ocean beneath a thick icy ...
The rings of Saturn may be iconic, but there was a time when the majestic gas giant existed without its distinctive halo. In fact, the rings may have formed much later than the planet itself, ...
Saturn's spectacular rings are due to vanish from view for a breathtaking moment, only two years from now. The gas giant's huge icy rings will disappear in March 2025, but they will reappear soon ...
