Saturn

German scientists analysing Cassini data find complex organic molecules in Enceladus' plumes, raising hopes that its hidden ocean could support life beyond Earth

On 23 March 2025, Saturn's rings seemed to vanish from sight due to a rare event known as a ring plane crossing. This phenomenon happens every 15 years when the rings align edge-on with Earth

The ring could have blocked sunlight on earth by casting a shadow on the surface of the planet, contributing to a significant global cooling event

In 2025, Saturn's rings will briefly disappear from view due to its alignment with Earth. This happens due to the change in orientation of the rings around Saturn as it orbits the Sun

A rare Saturn Eclipse will take place after 18 years in India, on July 24 and 25, 2024. The Saturn will hide behind the moon giving a unique celestial viewing opportunity

Who knows, someday, sometime, that might intrigue an intelligent al­ien if it does meet one and gets hacked

In a rare celestial event, Jupiter and Saturn will be seen very close to each other after nearly 400 years

The rare phenomenon can be visible globally including in India between 6:30-7:30 pm

The planets will next come comparably close on March 15, 2080

Cassini discovered Enceladus is venting water into space, in form of plumes of ice crystals escaping

Since arriving at Saturn in July 2004, Cassini has been exploring the giant planet

The relatively small orbital tilts of the moons indicate that they have not crossed many orbital resonances
