Saturn

Researchers have found that storms on Saturn might rage for longer than expected, and are different from those on its neighbor Jupiter.

Researchers are "pretty excited" academic Frank Postberg told Newsweek, after finding signs of phosphates, essential for life, on one of Saturn's moons.

The discovery has scientists excited about the possibility of alien life on icy Enceladus, one of Saturn's 100-plus moons.

These snake-shaped robots, called EELS, could one day explore the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus in search of life.

The planetary parade will likely only be visible until December 31 as Mercury rapidly fades.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune can be observed with binoculars or a telescope.

The absent moon, called Chrysalis, might also explain why the planet tilts slightly in its spin.

The Cassini mission, which spent 13 years exploring the Saturn System, revolutionized our understanding of the Solar System's second-largest planet and its moons.

In June, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will all be visible in the sky in the same order as they orbit the sun—for the first time in 18 years.

The five planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—will all be visible at once throughout the month of June in the same order as they orbit the sun.

Australia's Astronomical Society has awarded its revered Page Medal to two amateur astronomy projects for the first time in its history.

Imagine Studebakers, Pontiacs and AMCs on American streets again.

As well as explaining how light shows illuminate Saturn's skies, recent findings solve the decades-long mystery of why the length of the planet's day changed.

The 366 exoplanets were found by an algorithm that searched 800 million images of stars taken by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in its K2 mission.

Stargazers are also being treated to the sight of the moon approaching and then bypassing each of the three planets this week.

The ringed gas giant put on a show for Earth this week, in a treat for astrophotographers who took to social media to share their images.

Saturn experiences seasons just like the Earth, although they last for significantly longer than those on our planet.

The event follows the conjunction of Jupiter and Mercury, which aligned on the morning of Friday March 5.

This type of moon marks the start of the winter astronomical calendar.

The gas giants appeared to come closer than they had done for almost 400 years on Monday, days before Christmas.

Jupiter and Saturn are set to appear close together in the sky in a major celestial event known as the Great Conjunction.

This year's December solstice will coincide with the bright planets forming what has been dubbed a "Christmas star."

Saturn and Jupiter will be at their closest for 400 years on December 21.

Great conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn are rare, occurring once every two decades or so.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the September equinox marks the beginning of what's set to be quite an eventful astronomical fall.

Two of Saturn's many moons, Mimas and Enceladus, can be seen in the Hubble image.

If you want to see the spectacle, you will need to head outside around an hour before sunrise on Sunday.

The finding could shed light on the long-debated issue of when Saturn's rings and moons formed.

Meteor showers are celestial events in which several shooting stars appear to originate from a single point in the sky.

Data from the Cassini mission have revealed molecules in ice grains emanating from the icy, water-rich world.
