Recent discoveries of new moons orbiting Saturn have sparked renewed interest in the processes behind the planet’s ring ...

And once in orbit, Cassini-Huygens had 75 minutes to take pictures of Saturn and its rings before it turned again to point the antenna forward for its second transit through the ring gap.

The engine burn will slow Cassini allowing Saturn to grab the seven-tonne spacecraft, about the size of a two-storey building, and pull it into an orbit to begin its four-year mission to map every ...

It is the first orbiter to study Saturn in detail. The piggybacked Huygens probe, provided by the European Space Agency, plunged through the atmosphere of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, in 2005.

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a possible gas giant the size of Saturn in the stellar system nearest our own ...

Today in the history of astronomy, a photo is shot. The moon Phoebe will be discovered in it months later.

Like Saturn, the new asteroid takes about 30 years to revolve but lies 60 degrees ahead of the planet in its orbit, Wiegert and colleagues report in work submitted September 29 to arXiv.org.

Do not adjust your monitor: The image you see here, captured by NASA's Cassini orbiter, is a hurricane on Saturn that's twice the size of Earth. The eye of the storm, shown in red, is about 1,250 ...

This phenomenon is caused by an optical illusion that occurs when the stars line up. Saturn is tilted at 26.73 degrees on its orbit, while Earth is very close to that at a 23.5-degree tilt.
