Six of Saturn's moons—Enceladus, Epimetheus, Janus, Mimas, Pandora and Prometheus—make a faint appearance in this image. (Numerous stars are also visible in the background.) But this week ...

The fact that Epimetheus and Janus share a 1:1 orbital resonance, orbiting at the same distance from Saturn, is evidence of the "old rings" explanation. Newton used the three-body problem in his ...

Saturn’s tiny 200-km-wide moon Janus was imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on September 25, 2006. This little world exchanges orbits every four Earth years over 100 days with its partner moon, ...

(NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute) Other favorite images of Saturn's moons include the below "family photo" that, from left to right, captures Janus, Pandora, Enceladus, Mimas, and Rhea, with ...

Saturn's many rings are disappearing, and in 2025, the rings won't be visible from Earth, at least temporarily. Saturn's ring system extends up to 175,000 miles from the surface of the planet ...

The solar system is home to 290 confirmed moons as of October 2023. Out of these, 146 moons orbit Saturn, making it the planet with the greatest number of moons in our solar system. How do these ...

In the background of some of the new Janus pictures, Saturn can be seen shining. Then, on Thursday, Cassini neared the medium-sized Dione at about the same distance of 27,000 miles (44,000 ...
