Earlier research had found that the rings of Saturn respond to vibrations within the planet. Saturn's interior vibrates at frequencies that cause slight variations in its gravitational field, and the ...

James Webb’s mid-infrared vision has likely captured a frigid, Saturn-mass planet shaping the dusty rings around the nearby ...

Titan’s shadow transits Saturn in a rare 2025 sky event Viewable with telescopes during pre-dawn hours this summer Next Titan ...

New Hubble Space Telescope imagery of the Saturn show it's 'ring spokes' in orbit around the gas giant planet. Credit: ...

The rings are not actually going away, but will be imperceptible because the super-thin band of debris will be angled edge-on toward earth. It’s a phenomenon that happens every 13 to 15 years.

The Cassini spacecraft that orbited Saturn in 2004-2017 found the planet’s rings to have very little dirt. This was unusual — and the start of a mystery about the rings’ age ...

This dramatic image of the ring shadows on Saturn was taken by Cassini July 16, 2005, when the rings were near their maximum tilt toward the Sun. The Sun is to the upper right.

(1) Schematic representation of the protection mechanism of Saturn's rings. Micrometeorites regularly strike Saturn's rings at a speed of 20 km/s (12.4 miles/s) and darken them. (2) During the impact, ...

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 ...

Measuring ring-material detected by Cassini falling into Saturn’s equator allowed astronomers to give the rings another 100 million years to live. This story has been updated to fix a typo.

Saturn's rings, perhaps the most defining part of the gas giant, are going to vanish by March 2025, according to Earth.com. But they aren't disintegrating, and it's nothing permanent.
