Saturn
Microbes that produce methane may already be living on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn which is tipped to host life because it boasts a liquid water ocean beneath a crust of solid ice, and strange atm…
A New Discovery NASA just released evidence that a liquid water ocean that could support life lies beneath the icy surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The agency reports that the world has many of th…
The second largest planet in our solar system, adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the planets. It is not the only planet to have rings -- made of chunks of ice and r…
A 15-year-old boy, from Seaford, East Sussex, captured an awesome picture of Saturn using a personal telescope in his back garden that many experienced astrophysicists would be proud of. Marcus Reed …
Ligeia Mare, a look at the second largest known body of liquid on the Surface of Saturn’s moon Titan. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Titan, Saturn’s giant satellite, is more Earth-like than previousl…
Alien life may be thriving in a warm, underground ocean on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, according to new research. Scientists say tidal forces could have kept the subterranean sea liquid for billions…
Huygens touched down on Titan's frigid surface on Jan. 14, 2005, three weeks after separating from the Cassini mothership. It was a landmark moment in planetary science, mission team members sai…
Ladies and gentlemen, hold my coffee while I drool over this mind-bending image of Saturn—revealing waves of clouds swirling high above the planet. The image was snapped by the Cassini spacecraft at …
Scientists have made yet another sensational discovery in the search for alien life in our solar system. Astronomers have now found a key molecule for the formation of microorganisms in the atmospher…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has been voyaging through the solar system since October 1997. It went into orbit around Saturn in 2004 and has since taken thousands of images of the planet, its rings, and…
Scientists recognize Titan as one of the leading contenders to find life elsewhere in the solar system. So far, Titan is the only celestial body in the solar system, aside from Earth, to be discovere…
Since 2004, the Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn, collecting gobs of data and images, resulting in major discoveries — from geysers and hydrothermal activity on Saturn's moon Enceladus…
NASA's newest mission will either land a quadcopter-like spacecraft on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan or collect a sample from the nucleus of a comet. The two proposals were selected fro…
