Since its discovery in 1610 by Galileo, the rings of Saturn have enchanted us for centuries. Remarkably, we've visited Saturn ...

Amateur astronomers using a mid-sized telescope of around 6 inches in aperture will be able to enjoy particularly clear views ...

NASA's Cassini probe discovered giant geysers erupting from Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, revealing a hidden subsurface ocean with a chemistry unlike anything on Earth. Analysis of these space-borne ...

Experts have discovered that the moon is leaking heat from both of its poles, which they say indicates that Enceladus could have the long-term stable environment needed for life to develop.

A new study reveals how shifting ice shells on icy moons can cause dramatic pressure changes, sometimes enough to boil their hidden oceans. The outer planets of our Solar System are accompanied by ...

If future missions confirm sustained heat flow at both poles, Enceladus would strengthen its position as one of the more accessible environments for detecting extraterrestrial life within the Solar ...

The European Space Agency is planning an ambitious mission to Saturn's moon Enceladus, launching in the 2040s. Utilizing an ...

UC Davis research suggests that Saturn's moon Mimas may harbor a hidden, potentially boiling ocean beneath its icy crust due to tidal heating effects.

Irish planetary scientists have christened a spider-like feature on Jupiter's icy moon Europa as "Damhán Alla," which ...

Plus, the Geminid meteor shower peaks on the night of Dec. 13-14, and the winter solstice arrives Dec. 21 at 10:03 a.m.

Have scientists finally confirmed the existence of the first exomoon? This is what a study released on the preprint server ...

Small icy moons may have hidden oceans that briefly boil under thick ice. Changing pressure inside these moons shapes their surfaces.
