NASA's Cassini spacecraft will get its best look yet at Saturn's biggest moon Titan this weekend when it takes the deepest dip yet into the cloud-covered satellite's hazy atmosphere. Cassini will fly just 547 miles above Titan's surface, closer than ever
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has revealed new photographs of powerful lightning flashing on Saturn after steadily watching a particularly stormy part of the ringed planet, according to a new study.
A small capsule containing dust from the asteroid Itokawa touched down Sunday at the Woomera test range in the Australian Outback. Launched in May 2003, Hayabusa suffered a host of technical problems and malfunctions, but in the end came home.
The rings of Saturn might have given birth to the giant planet's odd, small moons, scientists now reveal.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft snapped new photos of Saturn's biggest moon Titan during a recent flyby over the moon's northern pole that targeted the home of the cloudy moon's largest methane lake.
Saturn's moon Titan is loaded with liquid methane. Can it support life?
Saturn, Mars, and Venus are all in the evening sky, and are closing in on each other.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft is whipping through a double-header at Saturn to catch an up-close glimpse at two of the ringed planet's moons – the icy geyser-ridden Enceladus and the cloud-covered Titan.
The moon will perform a cosmic dance with Mars, Saturn and the bright star Regulus this week. Here's how to see it.
New robot blimps or balloons could for thousands of kilometers to explore other planets and moons from a bird's eye view.
Saturn's rings, partially darkened by the planet's shadow appear to slice through the its largest moon, Titan, in a new photo released by NASA.
Space probes have snapped stunning photos of Saturn's largest moon Titan, but the sounds of the cloudy satellite – and, in fact, of most alien planets – still remain largely a mystery. Now, scientists are developing new sound sensors to detect thunder on

A lake of asphalt may be the closest thing on Earth to the hydrocarbon seas on Saturn's moon Titan, and it is apparently teeming with microbial life.
The Cassini spacecraft that glided low over Saturn's moon Enceladus last week successfully completed its gravity observation, sending back data that scientists will use to understand the moon's interior composition and structure.
A massive blizzard is raging on Saturn — a storm so large and fierce NASA astronomers and amateur skywatchers can see it from Earth.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft, part of the Cassini-Huygens mission, will glide low over Enceladus tonight to perform an experiment designed to probe the moon's interior composition.
Impact craters found on Titan could help scientists determine the age of this Earth-like moon and its potential for life.
