An event called a "ring plane crossing" will occur between Saturn and Earth on March 23, 2025, when Saturn's rings will ...

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 ...

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

The rings of Saturn could be much older than previously believed, possibly as old as the planet itself. In 2004, when NASA's Cassini probe arrived to study Saturn, it discovered that the ice ...

The rings, influenced by Saturn's magnetic field, are gradually being pulled into the planet. The phenomenon of "ring rain" may lead to their disappearance in the future. Saturn, a gas giant with ...

Saturn’s iconic rings are vanishing this year and won’t be visible again until 2028. Saturn is famed for its icy rings, but an astrophysicist warns they will disappear from Earth’s view next ...

They originate in space, high above a planet’s equator, and they loosely follow the path of its magnetic field. Earth, Jupiter and Saturn are all known to host chorus waves, but now, in a paper ...
