At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly ...

A new study hints that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was created around 400 million years ago, when two massive moons smashed ...

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

New research suggests that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was formed through a violent collision between two moons around 100 to 200 million years ago.

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...

Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of ...

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, ...

Planetary systems in the Milky Way galaxy tend to follow a particular pattern: rocky planets toward the center, closest to ...

The dazzling lights of the aurora are created when high-energy particles from space collide with Earth's atmosphere. While scientists have long understood this process, one big mystery remained: What ...

The collision may also be linked to the formation of the planet's iconic rings.
