An infrared camera aboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft discovered an aurora lighting up Saturn’s polar cap. This mysterious new finding is unlike any other known in our solar system. “We’ve ...
The discovery of the first wind-driven aurora sheds light on a strange phenomenon playing out below Saturn’s stormy atmosphere.
Saturn's aurora, a ghostly ultraviolet glow that illuminates the gas giant's upper atmosphere near the poles, has a heartbeat that pulses in tandem with the planet's radio emissions, scientists ...
Researchers have called for the public's help after an image appears to show an unidentified object slamming into Saturn.
Modelling the aurorae on Jupiter and Saturn shows that both exhibit aurora in the positions where the co-rotation between the planet and its plasma sheet breaks down.
Saturn happens to be one of those planets, and researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope recently observed what auroras look like on Saturn’s north pole.
Saturn's aurora, a ghostly ultraviolet glow that illuminates the gas giant's upper atmosphere near the poles, has a heartbeat that pulses in tandem with the planet's radio emissions, scientists ...
But, as the team observed, although Saturn's aurora do share characteristics with the other planets, they are fundamentally unlike the auroral displays on either Earth or Jupiter.
Scientists solve the mystery behind the cause of Saturn’s extraordinary aurora Saturn is different from all other planets because its aurorae are generated by winds in its atmosphere as well as ...
Aurora lights on Uranus helped NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope measure the planet’s interior rotation rate, changing what astronomers know about how long a day is on the cold and windy world.
Two projects using the James Webb Space Telescope will look at the auroras of Uranus and Saturn to discover what processes make them tick.
But, as the team observed, although Saturn’s aurora do share characteristics with the other planets, they are fundamentally unlike the auroral displays on either Earth or Jupiter.
