Carolyn Porco shares exciting new findings from the Cassini spacecraft's recent sweep of one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. Samples gathered from the moon's icy geysers hint that an ocean under its surface could harbor life.

This video highlights the incredible discoveries made by the Cassini spacecraft during its mission at Saturn. From capturing exquisite views of the ringed planet and its moons to uncovering new radiation belts and studying the internal...

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Saturn with the Cassini spacecraft as it prepares to explore Titan, the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere. Witness the intricate maneuvers and data collection as Cassini enters orbit...

The Cassini-Huygens mission arrived at Saturn in 2004, beginning an epic thirteen-year tour of the ringed planet and its many moons. Cassini and its companion probe, Huygens, were an international collaboration between NASA and...

A conversation with three members of the original Cassini science team: Jeff Cuzzi, the mission’s interdisciplinary scientist for rings; Dale Cruikshank, an astronomer and planetary scientist studying Saturn’s icy moons; and Chris McKay,...

In this stunning animation, watch NASA's Cassini spacecraft begin the last chapter of its 20-year mission to Saturn. Diving deeper into Saturn's rings than ever before, scientists hope that the data from Cassini's final orbits will help...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected a huge ocean under the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. But how? And what does it really mean? Hank lays out the data -- straight from space to your brain!

The people behind Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) reflect on their years-long experience working with their team - relationships formed, children born, challenges conquered, and their feelings as the Cassini mission...

This video discusses the arrival of the Cassini Huygens probe at Saturn and its mission to study the planet's rings and moons. It highlights the significance of understanding Saturn's rings in relation to the formation of the planetary...

This video discusses the upcoming mission of the Huygens Lander, which will be landing on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The dense atmosphere of Titan, composed of nitrogen and methane, makes it difficult to observe from spacecraft and...

Jupiter's bright Equatorial Zone swirls with dark patches, dubbed "hot spots" for their infrared glow. These holes in the ammonia clouds at the top of the atmosphere allow a glimpse into Jupiter's darker, hotter layers below. In 1995...

With a thick atmosphere, clouds, a rain cycle and giant lakes, Saturn's large moon Titan is a surprisingly Earthlike place. But unlike on Earth, Titan's surface is far too cold for liquid water - instead, Titan's clouds, rain, and...

Saturn's 2010 Great White Spot storm has set a new record for largest temperature change ever recorded for a storm on Saturn. By studying the monstrous disturbance using NASA's Cassini spacecraft, researchers spotted a massive belch...

Overview of the Cassini spacecraft's investigation of Saturn's moon Titan.

Cassini spacecraft data has been used to create the infrared views of Saturn's moon Enceladus. "Reddish areas indicate fresh ice," according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
