made a close approximation to the real form of the planet, but the mathematically-trained Huygens, in 1655, first described it FIG. l.-SATURN AND ITS RINGS, AS DRAWN IN 1894 BY LEO BRENNER ...

If you were to pick Saturn out of a lineup you’d probably recognize it by its iconic rings. They’re the biggest, brightest rings in our solar system. Extending over 280,000 km from the planet ...

SATURN'S iconic rings are set to disappear in weeks, and won't come back into full view until 2032 The vanishing act is all down to an optical illusion due to Saturn's tilt, which will turn the ...

A mysterious six-sided storm at Saturn’s north pole creates a perfect geometric pattern, with winds reaching up to 330 km/h.

The director of the Lick Observatory has announced by telegraph that certain “knots” appear on ... the rings have now to our knowledge lasted three hundred years, and no real change in them ...

"Previous estimates of the age of Saturn's rings required a lot of modelling and were far more uncertain. But we now have direct measurements that allows us to constrain the age very well ...

Saturn's iconic rings are set to disappear from Earth's view in March 2025, an event that occurs roughly every 30 years. This phenomenon is a natural consequence of the planet's orbital position ...

The photo shows the progression of the moon moving in front of Saturn and masking the planet and its rings from Earth's view. The ringed planet disappears behind the unilluminated part of the moon ...

Saturn's rings, once thought young, might be as old as the planet itself, around 4.5 billion years. New research using Cassini data suggests micrometeoroid impacts vaporize, keeping the rings ...

While Saturn won't lose its rings, they will go edge-on, making them essentially invisible to observers on Earth. NASA's Amy Simon notes that the rings will only be faintly visible in the months ...
