Look at this picture of Saturn. Can you see the biggest ring? Are you sure? Saturn’s rings have always had something of an air of mystery—but astronomers had at least been fairly confident in their ...
An extrasolar planetary ring system discovered in 2012 has now been determined to be much more massive than the one orbiting Saturn. Michelle Starr Science editor Michelle Starr is CNET's science ...
Researchers have found a way to measure the spiral density waves of Saturn's rings. They have found that an optical illusion has misled astronomers about the real size of Saturn's most opaque ring.
Astronomers who study stars are providing a valuable assist to the planet-hunting astronomers pursuing the primary objective of NASA’s new TESS mission. In fact, asteroseismologists — stellar ...
In a breakthrough study, an international team of scientists has solved an age-old scientific riddle by discovering that planetary rings, such as those orbiting Saturn, have a universally similar ...
Earlier in 2013, NASA's Cassini orbiter captured a stunning photo of a mysterious storm on Saturn. Until now, we've known very little about the storm, other than it's been stuck to Saturn's north pole ...
