Saturn’s magnetosphere, a vast and dynamic region dominated by the planet’s intrinsic magnetic field, plays a pivotal role in governing its interactions with the solar wind. The interplay between ...

The solar wind disrupts the timing of radio pulses emitted by Saturn, new measurements suggest. The finding helps explain why scientists have been frustrated in their attempts to determine a precise ...

Astronomers say the winds of Saturn appear to be slowing dramatically just as NASA’s Cassini spacecraft approaches the ringed gas planet. Other researchers who study giant planets say the finding is ...

Studies of Jupiter’s auroras by scientists from the University of Leicester have challenged current theories about the processes controlling the biggest light-shows in the Solar System. The scientists ...

Researchers studying data from NASA's Cassini mission have observed that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, behaves much like Venus, Mars or a comet when exposed to the raw power of the solar wind. The ...

A new way of detecting how fast large gaseous planets are rotating suggests Saturn's day lasts 10 hours, 34 minutes and 13 seconds -- over five minutes shorter than previous estimates that were based ...

If you are taking a trip to Saturn this weekend, don't forget to bring an umbrella—and a flashlight. Scientists have discovered that Saturn's rings cast shadows over the planet and may produce a kind ...
