Helio and You: Seasons on Earth, Mars, and Beyond

Earth has four seasons - spring, summer, fall, and winter. Other planets can experience seasons, too, but they might be wildly different from the ones that we are used to. Find out about how seasons work and what role the Sun plays in causing them.

Scientists May Have Found the Key to Jupiter and Saturn’s Moon Mystery

Jupiter and Saturn may seem similar as gas giants, yet their vastly different moon systems reveal a deeper story shaped by magnetic forces and planetary evolution. Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in our Solar System, also host the most extensive systems of moons. Jupiter is currently known to have more than 100 moons, [...]

Saturn’s Magnetic Shield Isn’t What Scientists Expected

Saturn’s magnetic shield behaves in a way that defies Earth-based expectations. Scientists analyzing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission have identified an unexpected feature in Saturn’s magnetic shield. According to the team, the finding shows that giant planets follow a different set of rules than Earth when it comes to how their magnetospheres behave. The study, [...]

Astronomers Solve Decades-Long Mystery About Saturn’s Spin – “Something Strange Was Happening”

Saturn’s aurora acts as a localized energy source that drives winds and currents in a stable feedback system, producing the illusion of changing rotation. Researchers at Northumbria University have turned to the most advanced space telescope ever constructed to tackle a long-standing mystery in planetary science: why Saturn seems to rotate at different speeds depending [...]

Distant Cousins? How Field Work on Earth Could Help Us to Better Understand Titan

Webb Captures Saturn in Infrared

Saturn’s icy rings glow in this infrared view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope released on March 25, 2026. Combining this image with another that NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured – also released on the same day – provides scientists with a richer, more layered understanding of the gas giant’s atmosphere. In Webb’s infrared image, […]

NASA Webb, Hubble Share Most Comprehensive View of Saturn to Date

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have teamed up to capture new views of Saturn, revealing the planet in strikingly different ways. Observing in complementary wavelengths of light, the two space observatories provide scientists with a richer, more layered understanding of the gas giant’s atmosphere. Both sense sunlight reflected from Saturn’s banded […]

Listen to This Month’s ‘Planetary Parade’ With NASA’s Chandra

In late February, people in the Northern Hemisphere can look up for a special sight : Six planets will all be visible from clear and dark night skies. New sonifications from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory released [day of week] will help commemorate this latest “planetary parade.” Because the planets in our solar system travel around […]

Saturn's largest moon may actually be 2 moons in 1 — and helped birth the planet's iconic rings

A new study hints that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was created around 400 million years ago, when two massive moons smashed into each other. This hypothesis could also help to solve several other mysteries surrounding other moons and the planet's iconic rings.

A Missing Moon May Have Created Both Titan and Saturn’s Rings

Saturn’s rings and its largest moon, Titan, may share a surprisingly violent origin. Saturn’s rings look timeless through a backyard telescope, but multiple lines of evidence suggest they may be relatively recent arrivals in the Solar System. That surprising idea has pushed scientists to look for a “missing chapter” in Saturn’s moon history. One of [...]
