Washington [US], October 19 (ANI): Scientists have compiled 41 solar occultation observations of Saturn's rings from the Cassini mission. The compilation will inform future investigations of the particle size distribution and composition of Saturn's rings, key elements to understanding their formation and evolution.
Washington [US], September 16 (ANI): Scientists propose a lost moon of Saturn, which they call Chrysalis, pulled on the planet until it ripped apart, forming rings and contributing to Saturn's tilt.
Cambridge (Massachusetts) [US], September 15 (ANI): All astronomers concur that planets are created in protoplanetary discs, which are the bands of gas and dust that encircle newly formed, young stars.

NASA has recently announced $600,000 in funding for a study into the feasibility of sending swarms of miniature swimming robots to explore oceans beneath the icy shells of our Solar System’s many “ocean worlds” Swimming robots to assist in the search for life While searching for life on other planets, scientists often search for signs […]
Washington [US], June 25 (ANI): A new study describes how unique populations of craters on two of Saturn's moons could help indicate the satellites' age and the conditions of their formation. Using data from NASA's Cassini mission, researchers have surveyed elliptical craters on Saturn's moons Tethys and Dione for this study.
Washington [US], June 4 (ANI): An American magazine has shared that a delightful view of all five naked-eye planets will line up in the dawn sky in June. All of them will also be in their proper order from the Sun.
