The artist’s conception simulates an infrared view of the giant ring. Saturn appears as just a small dot from outside the band of ice and dust. The bulk of the ring material starts about six million ...

The gravitational pull of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, causes giant, circling "tsunamis" of icy particles in one of the planet's rings, new data suggest. The discovery may solve the 30-year-old ...

Before it plunged into the atmosphere of Saturn on its final death dive, the Cassini spacecraft made 22 orbits of the planet that followed a path no probe had taken before: It flew between the massive ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Convulsions in the planet’s interior are picked up in the region known as the C ring, and help scientists understand what lies within. By Robin George Andrews Saturn’s icy rings are not just ...

All the hues of Saturn's B Ring pop out in a high-resolution color image sent back by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will shift its orbit around Saturn on Saturday, preparing to dive between the planet and its many rings. After 13 years in orbit, Cassini is set to burn up in Saturn’s ...

The Cassini spacecraft has detected two and possibly three new additions to the already full environment of Saturn, and scientists are puzzled over what they've seen. The first discovery is a wispy ...

Researchers have found Saturn’s moon Enceladus has heat circulating beneath its icy crust, meaning the chemistry of biology ...

A crack in one of Saturn's rings could be held open by the planet's largest moon, Titan. A new analysis of data from the Cassini orbiter shows that Titan's gravity lifts part of the ring in a rotating ...

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has found within Saturn’s G ring an embedded moonlet that appears as a faint, moving pinprick of light. Scientists believe it is a main source of the G ring and its single ...
