At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly of water ice particles that uniformly circle Saturn in a symmetric ...

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...

After Titan's violent birth, its new orbit destabilized smaller moons. Resonant tugs drove collisions among Saturn's inner satellites. Most fragments would recombine into moons, but ice debris ...

Debris from the collision could have formed another moon of Saturn called Hyperion, and affected the tilt of Saturn itself.

Britons in the UK were not able to enjoy the 'Ring of Fire'. As for any eclipse, experts have urged people not to look at the phenomenon with the naked eye. According to experts, staring directly at ...

Today (Feb. 17), an annular solar eclipse will commence its journey across a remote region of Antarctica where it will be visible to more penguins than people. The partial solar eclipse portion of the ...

A “ring of fire” solar eclipse will be visible on Tuesday, with the best views in Antarctica and partial eclipse views in Africa and South America.

New NASA supercomputer simulations show that Saturn's rings may have been formed by a 'massive collision' of icy moons. Credits: NASA/Durham University/Glasgow University/Jacob Kegerreis/Luís Teodoro ...

If Titan formed from a merger, the researchers found, its eccentric orbit could destabilize smaller moons closer to Saturn, ...
