Like the ancient cartographers of old, scientists working with images from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft of Saturn’s icy, airless moons have carefully crafted detailed maps that one day may guide future ...

Astronomers have created the first complete full-color map of the surface of Saturn's largest moon,Titan - a frozen place where liquid methane flows across a windswept landscape, and where scientists ...

This series of maps of Saturn's moon Iapetus shows how a computer model of migrating ice can explain most features of Iapetus' global appearance. The model starts with Iapetus uniformly covered in ice ...

Back in the 1980s, NASA’s Voyager spacecraft made a brief flyby of Saturn’s moons, providing us with a tantalising glimpse of new worlds. Now, the Cassini mission has finished the job, providing us ...

An international team led by the University of Nantes has pieced together images gathered over six years by the Cassini mission to create a global mosaic of the surface of Titan. The global maps and ...

Although not an official conjunction, three planets and the Moon are grouped within about 10 degrees of the Sun today. Except for the Moon, which will move on into the evening sky, the planets will be ...

This image shows an updated map of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, generated by the Cassini imaging team. The map incorporates new images taken in 2008, with better image processing techniques. Compared ...

A new study built on six years of NASA Cassini spacecraft observations has found that Saturn’s magnetosphere, the giant magnetic bubble shielding the planet from the solar wind, is lopsided in a way ...
