Saturn

The James Webb Space Telescope caught Saturn's icy moon Enceladus spraying a 'huge plume' of watery vapor far into space — and that plume may contain chemical ingredients for life.

Saturn's rings are surprisingly youthful and much younger than the gas giant planet itself, new research has revealed.

The conjunction and close approach of the moon and Saturn will be visible in the sky from the early morning until just after midday on Saturday, May 13.

Finding alien life just took a twist. A snake-shaped robot from NASA aims to climb the crumpled terrain of icy moons like Enceladus to search out microbes.

Saturn is once again the solar system's "moon king," snatching the crown back from Jupiter after the discovery of 62 new moons. Saturn now has a whopping 145 known satellites.

New research aims to shed light on the puzzling winds on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, whose mysterious weather patterns have puzzled astronomers for decades.

Saturn's rings are disappearing, and we don't know how much longer they will be around. The James Webb Space Telescope may be able to help pin down an answer.

Something is shaking on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn as moonquakes are linked to landslides that smooth out icy surfaces of bodies like Europa and Enceladus.

The moon and Saturn will be separated by about three degrees during a conjunction and close approach that occurs overnight on April 15.

Icy 'rain' from Saturn's rings is heating the gas giant's atmosphere, a phenomenon never seen in the solar system before, a new study suggests.

The Dragonfly rotorcraft-lander will be one of NASA's most diversely capable planetary exploration craft that will be used to search for signs of life on Saturn's moon Titan.

A newfound, highly adaptable bacterium shows the kind of diverse life to look for on Europa or Enceladus, astronomers say.

The moon meets up with Saturn early on Sunday (March 19) with the two celestial objects in conjunction. The arrangement will be only visible in the early morning pre-dawn hours, so plan accordingly.

Scientists have discovered how Saturn's moon Enceladus blasts tiny silica particles into space, where they eventually help form one of Saturn's famous rings.

Scientists examine how Titan's icy shell creates tides in the moon's subsurface ocean.

The Hubble Space Telescope recently observed mysterious features known as spokes on Saturn's rings linked to the planet's fall equinox, which last occurred in 2009.

The icy Saturn moon Mimas may have a geologically young internal ocean surrounded by a thinning ice shell, new research suggests.

Venus and Saturn will appear close together in the night sky on Tuesday (Jan. 24) beneath a crescent moon.

On Sunday (Jan. 22), the planets Saturn and Venus will make a close approach to each other in the night sky, separated by no more than the width of a finger.

The conjunction of Venus and Saturn will be livestreamed so astronomy fans can watch it from the comfort of their homes without having to brave the bitter cold of a January evening.
