A team of researchers has succeeded in measuring the brightnesses and temperatures of Saturn's rings using the mid-infrared images taken by the Subaru Telescope in 2008. The images are the highest ...

Saturn’s rings are not the permanent fixture they appear to be through a backyard telescope. Planetary scientists now agree ...

The rings are awash in subtle tones of gold and cream in this view which shows the outer B ring, the Cassini Division and the inner part of the A ring. In this viewing geometry, the brightest feature ...

I have had a few clear nights of late, which is unusual for me living in the UK, where the weather is typically not my friend. But one of the nightly delights has been seeing enigmatic Saturn rise in ...

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft ended its journey on Sept. 15 with an intentional plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn, but analysis continues on the mountain of data the spacecraft sent during its long ...

The dark Cassini Division, within Saturn’s rings, contains a great deal of structure, as seen in this color image. The sharp inner boundary of the division (left of center) is the outer edge of the ...

image: The outer reaches of the Cassini Division merge with the inner A ring (at right) in a region that is rich in structure. For context, other Cassini views of this region are available (see ...

Newly released imagery from the Cassini spacecraft shows just how cool the giant planet's rings really are. The false-color reading is color-coded to reflect temperature data from Cassini's Composite ...

After seven years and 2.2 billion miles, the most complicated and expensive unmanned spaceflight ever attempted is nearing its destination -- the exotic and colorful ringed planet Saturn. On Wednesday ...

Saturn's rings cast shadows on the planet, but the shadows appear to be inside out. The edge of Saturn's outermost A ring can be seen at the top left corner of the image. Moving towards the bottom of ...

Is this the close-up of vinyl, or is it just Saturn's rings? NASA just released a stunningly crisp image of Saturn's rings on their Instagram page last Tuesday, June 15. The image was captured by the ...
