For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A t ...

September is a special month for the planet as it reaches opposition. This means Earth will find itself in between Saturn and ...

Do we know what space actually smells like? And what about other planets, moons, and celestial bodies? Here's what the scientists who've been there have to say.

Every 378 days, Saturn swings into opposition, bringing it closer, brighter, and nearly 10 times easier to observe than at ...

Titan’s atmosphere tilts and shifts seasonally. The discovery shapes future exploration. Researchers at the University of Bristol have uncovered unusual behavior in Titan’s atmosphere for the first ...
