Earlier research had found that the rings of Saturn respond to vibrations within the planet. Saturn's interior vibrates at frequencies that cause slight variations in its gravitational field, and the ...

The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and data on the system ever taken. This included Saturn's largest moon, Titan, ...

James Webb’s mid-infrared vision has likely captured a frigid, Saturn-mass planet shaping the dusty rings around the nearby ...

It's popularly understood that no one can hear you scream in space, and yet, scientists have captured some pretty strange ...

Astronomers have discovered that the "dark sides" of Uranus' largest moons aren't where they originally thought — and in some cases are on the complete opposite sides of the icy satellites than ...

In particular, the team predicted that based on interactions with Uranus's magnetosphere, the "leading" sides of these tidally locked moons, which always face in the same direction in which they ...

Molecules known as methyl radicals (CH3) form when methane is broken apart by sunlight or energetic electrons from Saturn's magnetosphere.3. It then recombines with other molecules or with itself ...

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is 10 times stronger than Earth’s own, but even the mighty are affected by the solar waves. The wave that hit the planet in 2017 compressed this magnetic shield.

This finding has implications for another moon with an ocean, Enceladus, which orbits Saturn. Because of the strong magnetosphere of its host planet, the water on Enceladus is ionized and gets ...

A "rare intense wind event" may have messed up our opportunity to probe Uranus. Wind Tunnel Scientists have found that a "rare intense wind event" during NASA's Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 ...

Voyager 2’s data showed that Uranus’ magnetosphere was home to unexpectedly powerful electron radiation belts. Their intensity was similar to the massive bands of radiation found around Jupiter.
