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 ...

Of the solar system’s planets, Saturn piques the human imagination with its signature rings and impressive moon count of 274. But compelling new research reignites theories of an ancient collision ...
