Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.
In 2004, NASA scientists proposed that Enceladus, a small frozen moon orbiting Saturn, could hide a global ocean under its ...
In a paper to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, scientists from SETI Institute, Southwest Research Institute, Caltech and the Observatoire de Paris argue that Saturn’s largest moon is not ...
Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of ...
A major study by an international team of researchers using data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft has revealed a lattice-like structure of crisscrossing reflected waves that flow downstream ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, which since 2008 thought to ...
Specks of dust from Saturn’s rings appear to float much farther above and below the planet than scientists thought possible, suggesting the rings are more like a giant dusty doughnut. The main ...

In 2008, NASA’s now-departed Cassini spacecraft made its fastest flyby of Enceladus, the moon of Saturn that’s spewing its subsurface ocean into space. A new analysis of data from that flyby has ...
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft flew through Enceladus’s jets during its long mission in the Saturn system. This Cassini image is from 17 February 2005. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute In 2008, ...
Discover the breathtaking final orbits of Cassini as it captures Saturn's rings moons and clouds. Witness the probe saying goodbye to Enceladus Titan and the mesmerizing ring system before the final ...
