One of Saturn's icy moons may have been ripped apart 160 million years ago, a new study suggests. The disintegrated moon could explain two mysteries.

This evidence aligns with the hypothesis that Saturn’s rings and some of its moons are geologically young. Cassini’s detailed observations provided crucial insights into the rings’ age and mass.

Saturn Gains 128 New Moons, Bringing Its Total to 274 The objects around the ringed planet are tiny, but some of them may have formed relatively recently in the solar system’s history.

Scientists have found that one of Saturn's moons might be harboring an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. Mimas, which is Saturn's 7th largest moon and resembles the Death Star from Star Wars ...

Enceladus, the sixth largest of Saturn's moons, is known for spraying out tiny icy silica particles -- so many of them that the particles are a key component of the second outermost ring around ...

Saturn’s rings are not only the planet's most iconic features, but also rank among its most enigmatic aspects. Scientists aren’t quite sure how the rings formed in the first place. The rings ...

In just over three years time, NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft is set to launch on a long mission to Saturn’s moon, Titan. Scheduled to reach Titan’s surface in 2034, the mission aims to explore ...

A slight tilt in Saturn’s axis could then be amplified by the moons; the Sun would yank on the tilted moon orbits, which in turn yank on Saturn, causing its tilt to grow.

Observations of Saturn and its moons from the Cassini mission, which ended in 2017, strengthen the theory with evidence implying the rings and moons are very young.

The latest in a series of discoveries suggests that Saturn once had a moon called "Chrysalis" that was smashed into what are now planetary rings.

Thanks to the efforts of NASA and its incredibly reliable Cassini spacecraft, we now know more about Saturn and its moons than ever before, but … ...
