Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the ...

SwRI studied Saturn’s moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation helps ...

What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science ...

Stargazers will be treated to a rare seven-planet alignment in February. This is what scientists hope to learn.

to view the planets until the end of February. Saturn - Saturn sets first and is visible to the naked eye but you will need a telescope to get a view of the rings and its largest moon, Titan. Venus - ...
