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 ...

In a splendid portrait created by light and gravity, Saturn’s lonely moon Mimas is seen against the cool, blue-streaked backdrop of Saturn’s northern hemisphere. Delicate shadows cast by the rings arc ...

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 ...

Saturn's famous rings are about to disappear. No, not literally – that isn't projected to happen for hundreds of millions of years. But for astronomers and stargazers using ground-based telescopes, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A glance through a small telescope at the planet Saturn is often the experience that turns people on to astronomy. Simply walking outside, setting up a little scope, andenjoying a spectacular view of ...

If he had sat in mission control alongside the scientists in charge of the Cassini spacecraft when it made its climactic entry into Saturn's orbit, Galileo Galilei would have been astonished. When he ...
