A team of researchers has succeeded in measuring the brightnesses and temperatures of Saturn’s rings using the mid-infrared images taken by the Subaru Telescope in 2008. The images are the highest ...

The Cassini-Huygens mission, a collaborative endeavor between NASA, ESA, and ASI, was an unprecedented project designed for sustained exploration of Saturn and its largest moon, Titan, following ...

Saturn's rings cast shadows on the planet, but the shadows appear to be inside out. The edge of Saturn's outermost A ring can be seen at the top left corner of the image. Moving towards the bottom of ...

The Solar System's second largest planet both in mass and size, Saturn is best known for its rings. These are divided by a wide band, the Cassini Division, whose formation was poorly understood until ...

I have had a few clear nights of late, which is unusual for me living in the UK, where the weather is typically not my friend. But one of the nightly delights has been seeing enigmatic Saturn rise in ...

Views of Saturn’s stunning ring system from above by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft now orbiting the planet indicate the prominent A ring contains more debris than once thought, according to a new ...

The Cassini Division appears to emerge out of Saturn’s shadow in this Cassini spacecraft image. This division between the A and B rings, visible through modest telescopes from Earth, actually contains ...

NASA scientists think they might have a lead on where to find Saturn’s missing moons: near rings recently discovered by the Cassini spacecraft. In mid-September, the sun was poised behind Saturn, ...
