October 2025: What's in the Southern Hemisphere sky this month?
Yet the excitement is muted a bit in October because the rings appear nearly edge-on. They tilt 1.5° to our line of sight on the 1st and just 0.6° on the 31st. With the rings creating less distraction ...
Webb Telescope is investigating the formation of moons around a massive planet. Astronomers are using the data to study the chemical composition of a disc that is believed to be the basis for the ...

Now, thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have made the first direct measurements of one such disk around a distant planet named CT Cha b, located 625 light-years away. This disk is ...
For nearly two decades Enceladus, a 500-kilometer-wide moon of Saturn, has been a top target in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. In 2005, shortly after arriving in orbit around the ringed planet, ...
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, ...

Simulations show Saturn's moon Enceladus shoots less ice into space than previous estimates
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 ...
Analysis of moon samples collected and returned to Earth by China's Chang'e 5 mission shows "at least one hydrous mineral, hydroxyapatite, proving the existence of "water" from the magmatic ...
