A new study proposes that Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, absorbed a smaller ancient satellite in a catastrophic collision, which also set off a chain reaction responsible for creating Saturn’s famous ...

If Earth had rings like Saturn, they’d likely orbit between 10,000 and 30,000 kilometers above the surface — far higher than ...

At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly ...

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...

The planets are visible throughout February, "but they’ll be lined up best toward the end of the month,” NASA says.

Saturn's largest moon, the smog-enshrouded Titan, could be the result of a dramatic merger between two other moons that ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have been born of the collision of two smaller moons, according to new research.

Titan orbits farther out, moving with steady confidence, whereas Saturn has always handled itself with a sort of serene ...

Cassini mission data shows Saturn’s moon Enceladus generates Alfvén waves extending over 504,000 km, circulating energy and momentum through Saturn’s magnetosphere, according to Universe Today and ...

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

Saturn’s giant moon Titan and the planet’s famous rings may share a dramatic origin story. A new study suggests that Titan could have formed when two older moons smashed together, while the debris ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers ...
