Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Saturn’s system is mainly shaped by Titan, its largest moon, which is moving outward rapidly due to tidal forces within Saturn. A new study led by SETI Institute scientist Matija Ćuk suggests that ...

The largest moon of Saturn is bigger than Mercury, yet for all its conspicuousness, scientists don't know exactly how it came ...

Although astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets, the number of confirmed exomoons—and exorings—is still zero. But ...

In late February, people in the Northern Hemisphere can look up for a special sight: six planets will all be visible from clear and dark night skies. New sonifications from NASA’s Chandra X-ray ...

New NASA supercomputer simulations show that Saturn's rings may have been formed by a 'massive collision' of icy moons.

A new study hints that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was created around 400 million years ago, when two massive moons smashed ...

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” ...

In physics, to qualify as another reality means it must lie beyond the four known space-time dimensions. Such a realm must also be inaccessible, like public restrooms in the Big Apple. Good examples, ...

Saturn's largest moon, the smog-enshrouded Titan, could be the result of a dramatic merger between two other moons that ...
