Saturn news, features and articles

Astronomers are homing in on the whereabouts of a hidden giant planet in our solar system, and could discover the unseen beast in roughly a year.

A slight wobble in the orbit of Saturn's moon Enceladus can only be explained by a global ocean beneath its crust.

In our solar system, the objects with rainfall, rivers and oceans can be counted on two fingers: Earth, and Saturn's moon Titan. Both also share a thick atmosphere, rocky ground and plate tectonics.

Saturn's giant newfound ring is even larger than previously thought, spanning an area of sky nearly 7,000 times larger than Saturn itself, researchers say.

Scientists find the first hint that Titan's methane and ethane lakes may be stirring in response to the summer warmth, similar to lakes on Earth.

There are many mysteries about the enigmatic ringed gas giant, but the curious mechanism behind Saturn’s ‘spokes’ is one of the more intriguing puzzles.
