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 ...

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

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have been born in a colossal cosmic crash. New research suggests Titan formed when two older moons slammed together hundreds of millions of years ago—an event so ...

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, may have been even more instrumental to the system’s evolution than we thought, forming ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, might have formed after a collision with a lost moon, according to new research.

If Earth had rings like Saturn, they’d likely orbit between 10,000 and 30,000 kilometers above the surface — far higher than the ISS. They would create permanent shadows near the equator, alter global ...

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

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

A distant star dimmed by 97% for nearly 200 days. Astronomers say giant rings around a brown dwarf or super-Jupiter may explain it.

A single scenario could explain some of the odd features of Saturn's cosmic neighborhood. A project that set out to seek the ...
