Cassini

Details of a huge Saturn storm with lightning flash rate 10 times more than other storms have been released by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Data analysis of NASA's Cassini spacecraft by scientists has revealed the first-ever, up-close details of a Saturn storm that is eight times the surface area of Earth, NASA's official website said.

A Saturn storm is raging across the planet, covering 1.5 billion square miles or 8 times the surface area of the earth.

In what started as just a small dot on Saturn's northern hemisphere has now evolved into what some scientists call a one-of-a-kind storm.

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is about to leave the sun's territory to enter the inter-stellar space. NASA's twin spacecrafts Voyager 1 and Cassini reached edge of the solar system sooner than expected which means the boundary of solar system is smaller than what scientists had earlier speculated. Voyager 1's exit is expected to give astrophysicists new data accounts of life outside the solar system.

As NASA's Cassini project relayed images back after snapping photos of several of Saturn's 60 known moons. The images revealed lakes and rivers filled with liquid methane on Titan, Rhea with an atmosphere full of oxygen, and an ocean-like surface under a thick hydrocarbon atmosphere. The signs of water molecules and oxygen has given much speculation about life form existing on Saturn moons.

NASA was able to complete its second-closest meeting with Saturn’s icy moon Helene with its Cassini orbiter on Monday according to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft and a European Southern Observatory ground-based telescope tracked the growth of a giant early-spring storm in Saturn's northern hemisphere that is said to be so powerful that it stretches around the entire planet.

A new study by astronomers has shed light on new light on the evolution of stars, including our own sun.

Rainy seasons aren't just a regular occurrence on Earth - they also happen on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
