On Saturn's largest moon, Titan, molecules that would never mix on Earth are mixing together, seemingly defying a fundamental rule of chemistry.
Excess heat is flowing from the north pole of Enceladus, hinting at a careful energy balance deep that may have kept the ...
Cassini’s new analysis shows Saturn’s moon Enceladus leaking heat from both poles, not just the south. This balanced heat flow suggests its underground ocean could stay liquid for geological ages, ...
No life has been found on Saturn's 310-mile-wide moon Enceladus. Tthe team of researchers turned to observations made by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft in 2008 during a close flyby of Enceladus to find new ...
The proposed orbiter-lander mission would launch around 2042 and arrive in the Saturn system in 2053. The European Space Agency (ESA) is setting the long-term goal of sending a spacecraft to Saturn's ...
Saturn's icy moon Enceladus loses ice mass to space by cryovolcanic geyers, and new TACC supercomputer simulations have improved estimates of ice mass loss. These findings help with understanding and ...
As NASA's Cassini spacecraft turned its imaging cameras to Earth, scientists, engineers and visitors at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., gathered to wave at our robotic photographer ...
