Like the ancient cartographers of old, scientists working with images from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft of Saturn’s icy, airless moons have carefully crafted detailed maps that one day may guide future ...

This map is part of a group release of cylindrical and polar stereographic projections of Jupiter. For the other maps see PIA07783 and PIA07784. (Related thumbnail images available here.) These color ...

The arrows indicate the direction in which sand is inferred to be transported along dunes observed in Titan radar data. Underlying the arrows is a base map from Cassini’s imaging science subsystem.

NASA releases impressive before and after images of some of Saturn's most famous moons, revealing modern color maps with gorgeous detail. Amanda Kooser Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets ...

An international team of scientists has discovered that the Saturnian moon Titan has its own sea level dictating the height of its alien hydrocarbon oceans. The new discovery adds to a growing list of ...

TUCSON — Planetary scientists have for the first time mapped the depths of three methane seas on Saturn’s moon Titan. The second-largest of these, Ligeia Mare, contains enough liquid methane to fill ...

Geysers erupt from the cracks at the south pole of Saturn’s frozen moon Enceladus in this view collected by the nuclear-powered Cassini probe as it hurtled by on Aug. 13, with the planet’s layered ...

These color maps of Jupiter were constructed from images taken by the narrow-angle camera onboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 11 and 12, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during its flyby ...

Titan’s rippled dunes are generally oriented east-west. Surprisingly, their orientation and characteristics indicate that near the surface, Titan’s winds blow toward the east instead of toward the ...

Titan's vast dune fields, which may act like weather vanes to determine general wind direction on Saturn's biggest moon, have been mapped by scientists who compiled four years of radar data collected ...
