A rare celestial treat awaits stargazers the world over as two of our solar system's largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will look like double planets just after sunset on Monday evening i.e, December 21, the beginning of the winter solstice.
In a rare celestial event, Saturn and Jupiter – the two largest planets in our solar system – will be seen very close to each other in the night sky like one bright star by an astronomical event called the “great conjunction” on December 21.
This year's winter solstice will bring a rare sight to our night skies. In a rare celestial event, Jupiter and Saturn will be seen very close to each other appearing like one bright star in the sky on December 21.
NASA scientists have discovered a molecule in Saturn moon Titan's atmosphere that has never been detected in any other atmosphere. In fact, many chemists have probably barely heard of this molecule called cyclopropenylidene, or C3H2.
Researchers have discovered that most of the ice over the Enceladus is fresh, according to the latest infrared images released by NASA. This discovery suggests that there might be global internal activity resurfacing the moon.
Scientists have discovered a Saturn-like exoplanet using a radio telescope for the first time. The detected planet is known as TVLM 513b. This particular planet has a similar mass to Saturn and an orbit analogous that is pretty similar to Mercury.
NASA's Hubble telescope recently captured some mind-blowing images during summer in Saturn's northern hemisphere. In these latest snapshots, Saturn looks like a 'lord of rings'.
In the last few days the earth has witnessed 2 lunar eclipses (June 5 and July 5) and 1 historic solar eclipse on June 21. But there is more to look forward to if you are one of those people who loves gazing at the sky. In the next few days, out felow planets Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and later even Mars will be visible in the Sky.
The Lunar Eclipse on the US Independence Day was preceded by a rare Jupiter-Saturn anomaly that takes place only once every 20 years. When people looked up at the sky from the Western Hemisphere, along with the full moon, they saw two prominent members of our solar system -- Jupiter and Saturn.
The full moon on July 4 and 5 will be enhanced by two shining planets, Jupiter and Saturn. According to Native American traditions, this full moon is termed as Buck Moon or the Thunder Moon.
A study has revealed that volcano-like features were witnessed in the polar region of Saturn's moon Titan with the help of NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The study titled: 'Morphological Evidence for Volcanic Crater near Titan's North Polar Region' was published by Planetary Science Institute Senior Scientist Charles A Wood and co-author Jani Radebaugh of Brigham Young University.
Using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, scientists have discovered that Saturn's moon Titan is drifting a hundred times faster than previously understood -- about 11 centimeters per year.
New analysis of data from NASA's Cassini mission may finally explain why the upper layers in the atmospheres of gas giants -- Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune -- are hot, just like Earth's.
The likely presence of hydrothermal vents inside Enceladus could be seen as another phenomenon that contributes to this. At Earth's ocean floor, hydrothermal vents emit hot, energy-rich, mineral-laden fluids that allow unique ecosystems teeming with unusual creatures to thrive.
Researchers have found that Saturn's largest moon Titan undergoes significant seasonal changes in its energy budget -- the amount of solar energy it absorbs, and the heat it emits -- an advance that may lead to new insights about climate fluctuations on the Earth.
The more-distant retrograde moons and one of the prograde moons each take more than three years to complete an orbit.
Get ready to see another world from the eyes of a dragonfly — at least, a robotic one. NASA said Thursday that it’s sending a drone called Dragonfly to explore Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Using propellers, the drone will fly and land on several spots on the icy moon to study whether it can support microbial life.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which conducted closest-ever flybys of Saturn, beamed back detailed images of tiny moons which resemble raviolis nestled in the planet's rings.
Christopher Mankovich, a graduate student in astronomy and astrophysics at the varsity, analysed the wave patterns within the rings.
