When considering space colonization, most discussions focus on the Moon and Mars. While they’re relatively close to Earth and ...

The characteristics of Saturn’s immense heart have scientists rethinking how the ringed planet may have formed, and how it generates its strangely uniform magnetic field.

This discrepancy is likely because Saturn’s magnetic field is almost perfectly aligned with its rotational axis — unlike Jupiter.

Earth’s north magnetic pole is on the move. Astronomers think other planets' might experience similar magnetic field changes, which can ultimately impact their habitability.

The slight discrepancies arise because Saturn’s magnetic field is almost perfectly aligned with its rotational axis, unlike the magnetic fields of planets like Earth, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune ...

Figuring out the day length of Earth is more complicated than you might imagine. While on average a day is 24 hours long, throughout the year the planet's rotation can speed up and slow down, with one ...

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 fill an Olympic ...

This apparent insensitivity to the magnetic field orientation and sensitivity to solar wind dynamic pressure and/or motional electric field make Saturn's magnetosphere resemble that of Jupiter ...

That contradicts our understanding of magnetic fields, and makes it impossible to know exactly how long Saturn's days are. The rings of Saturn as seen by Cassini.

Saturn’s magnetosphere may help shield Titan from the solar wind. But it also strongly influences the magnetic fields in the moon’s atmosphere, making it difficult to discern whether Titan has ...

With a magnetosphere large enough to contain the entire planet and its rings, Saturn's magnetic field is 578 times as powerful as Earth's. The rings of Saturn ...

And another study showed that Saturn's magnetic field above the planet's two poles varied in time with the aurora and the radio wave emissions.
