Saturn's rings are falling in on the planet as icy rain, according to researchers. Scientists say this is occurring due to the planet's intense gravity. Dr. James O’Donoghue, from the Japan Aerospace ...

The strong pull of Saturn's gravity stretches and strains huge cracks on one of the planet's icy moons that spray icy, geyser-like jets, a new study finds. New images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, ...

Saturn's rings might have formed 100 million years ago when one of its icy moons was ripped apart by the planet's gravity. Though Cassini's findings were mostly welcomed, some planetary scientists ...

Though the rings appear solid from afar, they’re actually a dynamic, rotating system of icy debris. One theory suggests they may be remnants of a moon or comet torn apart by Saturn's immense gravity.

A rare alignment between Earth and Saturn will make the gas giant’s rings appear so thin that they’ll be nearly invisible.

The rings of Saturn may be iconic, but there was a time when the majestic gas giant existed without its distinctive halo. In fact, the rings may have formed much later than the planet itself, ...

Saturn’s rings aren’t just a beautiful adornment — scientists can use the feature to understand what’s happening deep inside the planet. By using the famous rings like a seismograph, scientists ...

Cassini data reveal how Saturn’s moon Enceladus leaks enough heat to keep its buried ocean warm and potentially habitable ...

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 1 and its twin probe, Voyager 2, during a rare planetary alignment that occurs only once ...
