The resulting with …

Satellites can have different colors due to different distances from Saturn. NASA scientists have proposed a theory for why Saturn’s rings have received exactly the same color. This was made possible thanks to the data that transmits the apparatus Cassini. As is known, satellites of Saturn (now known to more …

Mission space probe Cassini has completed about two months ago. After 20 years in space, study of Saturn, its moons and rings, in mid-September, the probe performed a final maneuver, and rushed into the planet’s atmosphere, where it was expected the inevitable destruction in the dense layers. But before the …

Clouds over Titan was first recorded …

Scientists revealed that Titan are witnessing a unique phenomenon, which is similar to the earth. The researchers found that Titan’s hydrological cycle in which methane transforms from liquid to gas and back. This process is very similar to the water cycle on Earth. That is weather on Earth and Titan …

Scientists found out why the rings of the planet do not fly into space.Mission, Cassini scientists found that Saturn’s rings continue to exist and do not fly into space due to the influence of the seven satellites of the planet. Previously, scientists found that the particles of Saturn’s rings would …
