When these collisions take place, the icy particles vaporize, forming charged water molecules that interact with Saturn’s magnetic field; ultimately, falling toward Saturn, where they burn up in ...

That's ring rain. It turns out, Saturn's magnetic fields are slowly but surely draining away the rings, so we're lucky to visit the rings now, because every 30 minutes, they lose enough water to ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

Saturn's magnetic field affects the orbits of charged nano-particles and ions," Hyodo explained. "In the end, micrometeoroid material (darkening material of rings), now in the form of nano ...

A mysterious six-sided storm at Saturn’s north pole creates a perfect geometric pattern, with winds reaching up to 330 km/h.

This ionized material is then rapidly expelled under the influence of Saturn's magnetic field, either being drawn toward the planet itself or ejected outside the rings. This process helps maintain the ...

The rings of Saturn could be much older than previously thought and may have formed around the same time as the planet, according to a modelling study. But not all astronomers are convinced, and a ...

When these collisions take place, the icy particles vaporize, forming charged water molecules that interact with Saturn's magnetic field; ultimately, falling toward Saturn, where they burn up in ...

NASA detects mysterious 'chirping' signals, or chorus waves, 165,000 km from Earth, revealing surprising energy transfer in ...
