The south pole of Enceladus—a tiny moon orbiting Saturn—is a volatile place. In this region, the moon’s subsurface ocean spews jets of water through four “tiger stripe” cracks in the icy crust, ...

In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini trained their telescopes on Saturn and uncovered a startling truth: the planet's luminous bands were not solid appendages, but ...

Saturn's moon, Enceladus, could harbour alien life deep within its underground oceans, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus loses ice mass to space by cryovolcanic geyers, and new TACC supercomputer simulations have improved estimates of ice mass loss. These findings help with understanding and ...

"It shows that Makemake is not an inactive remnant of the outer solar system, but a dynamic body where methane ice is still evolving." ...

Dussehra 2025 coincides with unusually intense Saturn energy, as the planet retrogrades in Pisces and prepares to enter Purva Bhadrapada pada. This period, culminating in Shani Trayodashi on October 4 ...

Saturn, the jewel of the solar system, has returned to the night sky. The ringed planet rises in the east just as the sun sets in the west. Regular readers will recognize that Saturn is near ...

New JWST observations of Saturn reveal bizarre bead-like auroras and a lopsided star-shaped pattern in the atmosphere.

Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed auroras warming the rogue planet’s upper atmosphere.

What can auroras on a rogue planet teach astronomers about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address, as an international ...

The asteroid belt is found orbiting between Mars and Jupiter and is a vast collection of rocks that is thought to be a planet that never formed.
