NASA has announced that our next destination in the solar system is the unique, richly organic world Titan.

After its launch in 2021, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will observe Saturn as part of a comprehensive solar system program.

After nearly 16 years of exploring the cosmos in infrared light, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be switched off permanently on Jan. 30, 2020.

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

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

Our solar system is a stormy place. Join us on a tour of storms.

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

Whether you're doing it for the nerd cred or the pie, this week on #10Things, we've got all the ways you can celebrate #PiDay with NASA.

Meet the women leading two of humankind's two most distant space missions.

The next full Moon will be on Feb. 19, 2019.

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.

November 16 marks the premiere of a unique film and musical experience inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope’s famous Deep Field image

November brings planets, an asteroid, a comet and the Leonids meteor shower.

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

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

Quite a few candles have been lit since NASA was born on Oct. 1, 1958. Here’s a quick look back at some highlights from six decades of exploration—and a glimpse of what’s ahead.

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

A study using Cassini data reveals a warming, high-altitude, hexagonal vortex emerging at Saturn’s northern pole

The final Cassini Science Symposium, and other recent Cassini mission events.

The Cassini mission revealed a surprising feature emerging at Saturn's northern pole as it nears summertime: a warming, high-altitude vortex with a hexagonal shape, akin to the famous hexagon seen deeper down in Saturn's clouds.

To most of us, dust is an annoyance. But these tiny particles that float about and settle on surfaces play an important role across the solar system.

This summer offers plenty of opportunities for skywatchers looking to observe Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and meteors--with or without a telescope.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominated NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, for Outstanding Original Interactive Program for its coverage of the Cassini mission's Grand Finale at Saturn, including news, web, education, television and social media efforts.
