Saturn’s magnetosphere is a vast, rotating magnetic cavity enveloping the planet, sculpted by the interplay of internal plasma sources and the impinging solar wind. Geysers on the moon Enceladus ...

Saturn’s magnetic shield is not symmetrical. A new study analyzing data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has found that the planet’s magnetic cusps, the funnel-shaped openings where solar wind can ...

Saturn’s magnetic shield does not sit where many scientists would expect. After combing through years of data from the Cassini spacecraft, researchers found that a key opening in Saturn’s ...

How can Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, influence its much larger parent planet? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics hopes to address as a team of ...

Using an innovative camera on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists have captured images of a radiation belt inside the rings of Saturn and have the clearest picture yet of the planet’s giant ...

Scientist using the Cassini spacecraft’s Magnetospheric Imaging instrument (MIMI) have detected a new, temporary radiation belt at Saturn, located around the orbit of its moon Dione at about 377,000 ...

A student has measured the optical depth of Saturn's rings using a new method based on how much sunlight reached the Cassini spacecraft while it was in the shadow of the rings. A Lancaster University ...
