Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has always stood out among the celestial bodies in our solar system. It is the only moon with a thick, ...

New research reveals more about why Saturn's large moon tilts, a puzzle that has intrigued scientists for decades.

The planet’s ring system extends up to 175,000 miles from Saturn’s surface, making them slightly more visible on Earth. The planet’s equinox occurs every time the rings cross Saturn’s ...

Saturn's outermost layers are made from swirling gases — mostly hydrogen and helium. The surface of Saturn also holds small amounts of water, ammonia and methane gas, but these gases become ...

Scientists have found that one of Saturn's moons might be harboring an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. This ocean is thought to be fairly young on a cosmic timescale and only got close to ...

Their reasoning was simple: Mimas’ heavily cratered surface showed no signs of an internal ocean. As with Enceladus, Saturn’s gravity should churn the ocean waters within Mimas, causing large ...
