When these collisions take place, the icy particles vaporize, forming charged water molecules that interact with Saturn’s magnetic field; ultimately, falling toward Saturn, where they burn up in ...

Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new ...

That's ring rain. It turns out, Saturn's magnetic fields are slowly but surely draining away the rings, so we're lucky to visit the rings now, because every 30 minutes, they lose enough water to ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like chirping birds in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called ...

One significant area of research has focused on the relationship between Saturn's weather systems and its magnetic field oscillations. Observations from the Keck Observatory revealed that neutral ...

The rings of Saturn could be much older than previously believed, possibly as old as the planet itself. In 2004, when NASA's Cassini probe arrived to study Saturn, it discovered that the ice ...

A famous illustration of Saturn's moon Titan got it all wrong. Never mind -- what we imagine space to be, and what we know it is, can both evoke the sublime.
