Saturn

NASA's Cassini mission, which ended six years ago, spotted a key ingredient needed for life as we know it on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, a new study reports.

Scientists believe possible amino acids in Enceladus' subsurface ocean can indeed be detected by spacecraft.

Data from the deceased Cassini spacecraft offers astronomers an unconventional way to measure the optical depth of Saturn's rings.

A collision between two ancient icy moons that may have once orbited Saturn could have given rise to the planet's iconic ring system, a new study reveals.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have observed the changing of seasons on Saturn. The ringed planet's northern summer is cooling as a 7.5-year-long autumn approaches.

Megastorms that rage across Saturn and last for centuries, shaking up the gas giant's deep atmosphere and driving ammonia rains that enrich lower layers.

One astrophysicist is suggesting we remove Saturn's status as a gas giant, saying the planet tried but didn't quite make the cut.

Saturn enters retrograde on June 17, shifting from its usual eastward movement to travel westwards through the constellations until early November.

For the first time, phosphorus — the rarest of six elements upon which life as we know it depends — has been found in a tiny ocean-bearing moon in our solar system.
