Saturn's rings might have formed 100 million years ago when one of its icy moons was ripped apart by the planet's gravity. Though Cassini's findings were mostly welcomed, some planetary scientists ...

The rings of Saturn may be iconic, but there was a time when the majestic gas giant existed without its distinctive halo. In fact, the rings may have formed much later than the planet itself, ...

A rare alignment between Earth and Saturn will make the gas giant’s rings appear so thin that they’ll be nearly invisible.

Far from the warmth of the Sun, some of the coldest-looking worlds in the solar system may be hiding the hottest surprises.

Saturn’s rings aren’t just a beautiful adornment — scientists can use the feature to understand what’s happening deep inside the planet. By using the famous rings like a seismograph, scientists ...

We still don’t know exactly how the rings around Saturn formed, but scientists who study Saturn’s rings have come up with a couple of ideas. One common theory many scientists agree upon is that Saturn ...

Cassini data reveal how Saturn’s moon Enceladus leaks enough heat to keep its buried ocean warm and potentially habitable over geologic time.

Saturn’s icy rings are not just aesthetically wondrous marvels. One of them also records a beautiful planetary soundtrack. The planet’s interior, concealed beneath a shroud of mostly hydrogen gas, ...
