A study led by SETI Institute scientist Matija Ćuk proposes that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have ...
After Titan's violent birth, its new orbit destabilized smaller moons. Resonant tugs drove collisions among Saturn's inner satellites. Most fragments would recombine into moons, but ice debris ...
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.
Debris from the collision could have formed another moon of Saturn called Hyperion, and affected the tilt of Saturn itself.
Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have been born of the collision of two smaller moons, according to new research.
A “ring of fire” solar eclipse will be visible on Tuesday, with the best views in Antarctica and partial eclipse views in Africa and South America.
This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining why the rings have a lot of ice and little rock, in contrast to models where a moon strayed inside Saturn’s Roche limit and was pulled apart.
Titan orbits farther out, moving with steady confidence, whereas Saturn has always handled itself with a sort of serene ...
Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.
February may be the shortest month of the year, but it is packed with celestial events, according to a new skywatching update ...
