Astronomers have discovered evidence of a subsurface ocean under the icy abyss of Saturn’s mini moon, Mimas, which resembles the Star Wars Death Star. After using observations from NASA’s Cassini ...
New Johns Hopkins University simulations offer an intriguing look into Saturn’s interior, suggesting that a thick layer of helium rain influences the planet’s magnetic field. The models, published ...
During the final year of NASA's Cassini mission before it completed a "death dive" into Saturn's atmosphere in 2017, the spacecraft gathered as much data as possible about the planet's rings. During ...
The detection of liquid water oceans under the icy surfaces of outer Solar System moons suggests that these moons could provide abodes for life under conditions that differ markedly from those on ...
Six years ago the Cassini spacecraft, which had spent nearly two decades in orbit around Saturn, finished its mission with a grand finale, plunging itself into the depths of Saturn's atmosphere. Those ...
Saturn’s largest moon Titan has been thought to have a large ocean below its surface. This discovery was made in 2008 by the Cassini mission. However, the Jet Propulsion Lab as been analyzing that ...
New observations show a small Saturn moon has generated electromagnetic waves that extend more than 313,000 miles behind it inside Saturn’s magnetic field. That newly measured reach reveals a tiny icy ...
