Cassini

Cassini’s discoveries have elevated the small, icy moon of Enceladus to one of the best places to search for life.

There’s way more to Saturn than its rings. The planet also boasts a collection of exotic, and still mysterious, moons.

Scientists have completed the longest-ever study tracking temperatures in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere where its signature colorful striped clouds form.

The Cassini spacecraft has been gone for a year now, but the science continues. Here are 10 reasons why Cassini mattered...

From deep below the soil at Earth’s polar regions to Pluto’s frozen heart, ice exists all over the solar system...and beyond.

At Thanksgiving gatherings, food is shared, leftovers are coveted, and different people have different specialties. Interplanetary missions are similar, but with spaceship parts instead of potatoes or pie.

JPL's lucky peanuts are an unofficial tradition at big mission events.

Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Saturn on Aug. 25, 1981. The mission revealed a planet so phenomenal scientists had to go back.

New research on nine craters on Saturn's largest moon Titan provides details about how weathering affects the surface – and what lies beneath.

Cassini mission data provides strong evidence that the northern hemisphere of the moon has been resurfaced with ice from its interior.

Scientists have developed a new prediction of the shape of the bubble surrounding our solar system.

Planetary scientists have learned something significant: More than a quarter of the exoplanets they studied could be ocean worlds.

Using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, scientists found Titan drifting away from Saturn a hundred times faster than previously understood.

New analysis of data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft finds auroras at Saturn's poles may keep its atmosphere warm.

The first map showing the global geology of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has been completed and fully reveals a dynamic world of dunes, lakes, plains, craters and other terrains.

Cassini scientists have found the ingredients for amino acids condensed onto ice grains emitted by Saturn's sixth-largest moon.

Images collected during Cassini's superclose orbits in 2017 are giving scientists new insight into the complex workings of the rings.

Dust and ice from Saturn's vast rings accretes onto the moons embedded within and near the rings.

New data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft may solved a longstanding mystery. The length of a day on Saturn: 10 hours, 33 minutes and 38 seconds.

New measurements of the mass of Saturn's rings reveal their age — and something they have in common with dinosaurs.

New NASA research confirms that Saturn's rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ice particles under the influence of Saturn’s magnetic field.

Cassini's Grand Finale orbits pay off: Final dives tell the story of the previously unexplored region between Saturn and its rings

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected dust storms on Saturn's largest moon, making Titan the third Solar System body where such storms have been observed.

During NASA's Cassini mission's final distant encounter with Saturn's giant moon Titan, the spacecraft captured the enigmatic moon's north polar landscape of lakes and seas, which are filled with liquid methane and ethane.

JPL has won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Interactive Program for its coverage of the Cassini mission's Grand Finale at Saturn.
