One such discovery made regarding the Sun’s magnetic field is that, at the solar south pole, the Sun’s magnetic field is ...

Saturn is tilted at 26.73 degrees on its orbit, while Earth is very close to that at a 23.5-degree tilt. When the two planets line up just right, the rings of Saturn are almost entirely horizontal ...

In 2005, NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter took images of Saturn's moon Enceladus, and discovered geysers blasting particles of water ice into space from fractures near the south pole. The observation ...

The Solar Orbiter has captured humanity's first look at the south pole of the sun, revealing messy magnetic fields and ...

A collision of such size could explain the small moons that orbit Saturn. Here's what to know about Saturn's newly-discovered moons. The new moons are only a few kilometers across in size (one ...

Cassini found several moons orbiting Saturn, and as of 2023, the planet’s known number of moons in its orbit is almost 150. Titan On January 14, 2005 , the Huygens probe landed on Titan and ...

If all the objects are recognized by scientific authorities, the ringed giant world will have 145 moons in its orbit. Saturn and several of its moons, including Tethys, Dione and Rhea while Mimas ...

But theirs were fast-paced flyby tours; scientists wanted a longer-term Saturn orbiter and Titan probe to truly explore the complex system. To that end, 25 years ago, a mighty Titan IVB/Centaur ...

In the process of those interactions, however, the moon spun out of orbit, got close to Saturn, and was destroyed, creating the ring material. While the models don't tell us this is definitively ...

A solar mission shared between the European Space Agency and NASA has captured the first-ever images of the Sun's south pole.

A mysterious interstellar object, estimated to be eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune billions of years ago.
