When the solar system decided it liked Saturn and wanted to put a ring on it, it put together the most stunning, complex puzzle ring possible.

The moon will make a close pass to Saturn this evening (May 22), so close that our natural satellite will block the view of the ringed planet for skywatchers in parts of the world.

Ice, ice, baby — thousands of miles of it.

A new "deep learning" algorithm that could help scientists better understand planetary atmospheres has passed its first big test, a new study reports.

And you thought unpredictable spring temperatures were annoying: On Saturn's moon Titan, chilly polar vortex periods can last to the summer solstice.

New answers for mysteries concerning Saturn's moons could shed light on whether one, Enceladus, could support life.

The bizarre shapes and diverse colors seen in some of Saturn's moons may now be explained, with the help of data taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft before it plunged to its doom.

It's going to take more than one milestone mission per planet for scientists to crack the mysteries of Jupiter and Saturn.

Celestial sights rival Manhattan's lights in a gorgeous skywatcher photo.

When the moon's in the sky, and Venus goes "goodbye," that's an occultation.

The dense atmosphere roiling on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may come from organic material baking in the moon's interior.

Astronomy may focus on the stars, but occasionally something happens to bring it back down to Earth — like a swarm of insects shorting out their telescope.

Set your timers for 10 hours, 33 minutes and 38 seconds — scientists have finally figured out how long a day lasts on Saturn, cracking a lingering mystery about the ringed gas giant.

Viewers watching "Star Trek: Discovery" last night (Jan. 17) were treated to a more realistic, awe-inspiring view of Saturn's rings, courtesy of the real-world Cassini spacecraft.

Saturn has not always had rings — the planet's haloes may date only to the age of dinosaurs, or after it, a new study finds.

Here's something you don't see every day — the glint of freshly fallen rain on the surface of an alien world.

For more than two decades, scientists have wondered whether extraterrestrial life may be flourishing deep below the icy coatings boasted by moons in our outer solar system.
