While a hexagon seems like an odd shape for a naturally occurring storm, physicists were able to recreate the phenomenon in a ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified methane in the atmosphere of TOI-199b, a Saturn-sized planet ...

The secret has been hiding in plain view for 40 years. But it took the insight of a veteran astronomer to pull it all together within a year, using observations of Saturn from NASA's Hubble Space ...

JWST’s NIRSpec aurora maps, 10 times sharper than Cassini-era data, exposed a planetary heat engine of aurora, winds, and ...

Saturn’s famous rings don’t just give the planet its distinctive look — they also affect its weather. New research using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the icy rings actually heat up Saturn’s ...

Icy "rain" from Saturn's rings is heating the gas giant's atmosphere, a phenomenon never seen in the solar system before, a new study suggests. The unexpected discovery, which came as the result of ...

The rings that make Saturn such a spectacle are probably heating its atmosphere and making it glow at ultraviolet wavelengths. Researchers detected an excess of ultraviolet emission in Saturn’s ...

Two decades of scrutinizing Saturn are finally paying off, as scientists have discovered a wave pattern, or oscillation, in Saturn’s atmosphere only visible from Earth every 15 years. The discovery of ...

The puzzling behavior of Titan's atmosphere has been revealed. The team has shown that the thick, hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon doesn't spin in line with its surface, but instead wobbles ...

This composite image shows the Saturn Lyman-alpha bulge, an emission from hydrogen which is a persistent and unexpected excess detected by three distinct NASA missions, namely Voyager 1, Cassini, and ...
