Of the solar system’s planets, Saturn piques the human imagination with its signature rings and impressive moon count of 274. But compelling new research reignites theories of an ancient collision ...

Behind the serene, glowing beauty of Saturn’s rings lies a story of cosmic chaos. Once thought to be as old as the planets themselves, these icy bands may actually be surprisingly young, and their ...

In a paper to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, scientists from SETI Institute, Southwest Research Institute, Caltech and the Observatoire de Paris argue that Saturn’s largest moon is not ...

Saturn’s giant moon Titan and the planet’s famous rings may share a dramatic origin story. A new study suggests that Titan could have formed when two older moons smashed together, while the debris ...
