• A Long, Hard Stare: Cassini Captures Saturn’s Faint D ring

  
  — Authority:
  Saturn’s D ring may be faint and difficult to observe, but it rewards our patience. In this image, the Cassini spacecraft has captured some of the structure of the tenuous ring, appearing here as light/dark banding in the upper-right of the image. (The brightest ring material, in the lower-left here, is the C ring.) ...

• Saturn’s Moon Dione May Possess Subsurface Ocean

  
  — Authority:
  Saturn’s moon Dione may possess a subsurface ocean, one which may have at one time been geologically active, new images obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft suggest. Image Credit: NASA The new images are of Dione’s rather strange 500-mile-long mountain — Janiculum Dorsa . After analysis by ...

  — Authority:
  Long-exposure Cassini NAC image reveals Saturn’s D ring system (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI) The closest to the planet itself, the hazy arcs of Saturn’s D ring may lack the reflective brilliance and sharply-defined edges of the other main rings, but they nevertheless possess their own ethereal beauty and mysteries. ...

• “Like L.A. Smog on Steroids” – Cassini Scientists Pick Apart Titan’s Haze

  
  — Authority:
  Layers of Titan’s atmosphere (NASA/JPL/SSI/J. Major) Scientists working with data from NASA’s Cassini mission have confirmed the presence of a population of complex hydrocarbons in the upper atmosphere of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, that later evolve into the components that give the moon a distinctive ...

• Mimas and Herschel

  
  — Authority:
  Herschel is a huge crater in the leading hemisphere of the Saturnian moon Mimas, on the equator. It is the one that makes Mimas look like The Death Star. This is the best image yet of this feature taken by the Cassini probe.

• NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft discovers possible Activity on Saturn’s Moon Dione

  
  Clarksville, TN Online — Authority: 442
  Written by Jia-Rui Cook NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA – From a distance, most of the Saturnian moon Dione resembles a bland cueball. Thanks to close-up images of a 500-mile-long (800-kilometer-long) mountain on the moon from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists have found more evidence ...

  From a distance, most of the Saturnian moon Dione resembles a bland cueball. Thanks to close-up images of a 500-mile-long (800-kilometer-long) mountain on the moon from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists have found more evidence for the idea that Dione was likely active in the past. It could still be active now. ...

• Summer Hurricanes on Titan Coming?

  
  — Authority:
  Saturns moon Titan might be in for some wild weather as it heads into its spring and summer, if two new models are correct. Scientists think that as the seasons change in Titans northern hemisphere, waves could ripple across the moons hydrocarbon seas, and hurricanes could begin to swirl over these areas, too. The ...
