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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Cassini Division appears to emerge out of Saturn’s shadow in this Cassini spacecraft image. This division between the A and B rings, visible through modest telescopes from Earth, actually contains ...

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 ...
