The solar wind disrupts the timing of radio pulses emitted by Saturn, new measurements suggest. The finding helps explain why scientists have been frustrated in their attempts to determine a precise ...

Learn how winds in Saturn's upper atmosphere power a continuous aurora, creating misleading changes in the planet's rotation rate. Saturn’s spin has displayed perplexing changes when observed in the ...

Saturn’s magnetosphere, a vast and dynamic region dominated by the planet’s intrinsic magnetic field, plays a pivotal role in governing its interactions with the solar wind. The interplay between ...

Saturn's magnetic shield is asymmetrical compared to Earth’s, suggests a new study involving University College London (UCL) researchers, and this is likely a result of its fast rotation coupled with ...

Studies of Jupiter’s auroras by scientists from the University of Leicester have challenged current theories about the processes controlling the biggest light-shows in the Solar System. The scientists ...

A new way of detecting how fast large gaseous planets are rotating suggests Saturn's day lasts 10 hours, 34 minutes and 13 seconds -- over five minutes shorter than previous estimates that were based ...

An illustration shows the Cassini spacecraft investigating Titan with its parent planet Saturn in the background (Image credit: NASA/Robert Lea) What would that mean for the search for life beyond ...
