Enceladus' Geysers May Not Come from Underground Ocean, Study Suggests
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

Scientists Puzzled by a Strange Dark Spot Fading on Saturn’s Moon Enceladus
A mysterious dark spot on Saturn's moon Enceladus has baffled scientists after it faded over several years. Discovered through NASA’s Cassini mission, the spot's sudden disappearance raises questions about the moon's geology. Experts have ruled out shadows and image artefacts, suggesting that the feature could be the result of an impact or a depo...

NASA Shares Stunning Old Pic Of Saturn, Internet Calls It "Unrealistic"
NASA occasionally offers stunning images taken by various telescopes as well. This time too, it uploaded a mindblowing image captured by the Cassini spacecraft which featured not just Saturn but also its iconic rings.

NASA Shares Stunning Image of Saturn’s Moon Dione in Transit
NASA has shared an image of Saturn's moon Dione. The image was said to be captured from a distance of about 2.3 million km. Scientists say transits play a vital role in understanding the relationship between the planet and its moons. When the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, during transit, it leads to the solar eclipse.

NASA Says Data From Cassini Probe May Help Explain Saturn's Atmospheric Mystery
The upper layers in the atmospheres of gas giants -- Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune -- are hot, just like Earth's. But unlike Earth, the Sun is too far from these outer planets to account for the high temperatures. Their heat source has been one of the great mysteries of planetary science.
