Aug. 23, 2022 — Abundant internet claims about the acoustic power of the Saturn V suggest that it melted concrete and lit grass on fire over a mile away, but such ideas are undeniably false. Researchers used a ...
July 21, 2022 — Because it's bigger, Jupiter ought to have larger, more spectacular rings than Saturn has. But new research shows Jupiter's massive moons prevent that vision from lighting up the night ...
June 21, 2022 — A new study describes how unique populations of craters on two of Saturn's moons could help indicate the satellites' age and the conditions of their formation. Using data from NASA's ...
May 3, 2022 — A planetary scientist worked with engineers to measure the physical limits for a liquid when salty water is at very high pressure. The results suggest where to look for extraterrestrial life in the ...
Feb. 8, 2022 — Space scientists have discovered a never-before-seen mechanism fueling huge planetary aurorae at ...
Jan. 19, 2022 — A scientist recently set out to prove that the tiny, innermost moon of Saturn was a frozen inert satellite and instead discovered compelling evidence that Mimas has a liquid internal ocean. In the ...
Oct. 18, 2021 — With future space exploration in mind, a team of astronomers has published the final maps of Titan's liquid methane rivers and tributaries -- as seen by NASA's late Cassini mission -- so ...
Aug. 10, 2021 — The NASA Dragonfly mission will send a rotorcraft relocatable lander to the surface of Saturn's moon Titan in the mid-2030s; it will be the first mission to explore the surface of ...
July 8, 2021 — Tidal stresses may be causing constant icequakes on Saturn's sixth largest moon Enceladus, a world of interest in the search for life beyond Earth, according to a new ...
May 5, 2021 — New simulations offer an intriguing look into Saturn's interior, suggesting that a thick layer of helium rain influences the planet's magnetic ...
Mar. 25, 2021 — New research could inform where to one day search for signs of life on Saturn's moon ...
Jan. 21, 2021 — Scientists have just shown that the influence of Saturn's satellites can explain the tilt of the rotation axis of the gas giant. Their work also predicts that the tilt will increase even further ...
Jan. 21, 2021 — Far below the gaseous atmospheric shroud on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, lies Kraken Mare, a sea of liquid methane. Astronomers have estimated that sea to be at least 1,000-feet deep near its ...
Jan. 19, 2021 — Scientists develop theoretical models to predict the presence of clathrate hydrates outside Earth, shedding light on the evolution of other ...
