On the surface of Titan—Saturn’s largest moon and the solar system’s second-largest natural satellite—volatiles are actively cycled in a way much like the hydrological cycle on Earth. Apart from Earth, […]
The gas giants of our solar system are so far from the Sun that they should have cold atmospheres. However, the upper atmosphere of Saturn (and the other gas giants) […]
The Planetary Data System (PDS) Atmospheres Node is pleased to announce the release of a preliminary version of newly designed, comprehensive webpages for accessing Cassini mission data: https://pds-atmospheres.nmsu.edu/data_and_services/atmospheres_data/Cassini/Cassini.html These pages […]
Dear colleagues and attendees of the Cassini Science Symposium in Boulder, August 2018: Because of the government shutdown, the deadline for submissions to the special Icarus issue on Cassini Mission […]
Prior to Cassini’s Grand Finale, our knowledge of the vertical distribution of Saturn’s ionospheric electron densities relied upon the remote observations using radio occultation measurements. For the first time in the […]
Dear colleagues and attendees of the Cassini Science Symposium in Boulder, August 2018: This is to confirm a special Icarus issue devoted to Cassini results. We call for papers on […]
Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus harbors a big ocean of water beneath its icy crust, which is evident from erupted water plumes from Enceladus’ surface. The Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) […]
We would like to remind you to register and get your hotel room if you haven’t done so already. 29 June: Early registration deadline – $300 (Students $150) 30 June: Late registration […]
Cassini Science Symposium-Aug 12-17 2018 Poster Dear colleagues, Abstracts are due 16 April 2018 for the final Cassini Science Symposium. Please use the template provided on the website. Hosted by the […]
Dear colleagues, The Cassini Project will host a five-day Cassini Science Symposium August 12-17, including a reception Sunday evening before the sessions. The sessions will be held at the University […]
The Planetary Data System (PDS) is pleased to announce a new delivery of Cassini data, Release 44, January to March 2015, for instruments: ISS MIMI RADAR RPWS RSS SPICE UVIS VIMS […]
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has begun transmitting its latest images of Saturn’s icy, geologically active moon Enceladus, acquired during the dramatic Oct. 28 flyby in which the probe passed about 30 […]
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is speeding towards the edge of our solar system for a July 14 flyby of Pluto. It won’t be making observations alone; NASA’s fleet of observatories […]
The long-standing mystery of why Saturn seethes with enormous storms every 30 years may have been solved by scientists working with data from NASA’s Cassini mission. The tempests, which can […]
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has provided scientists the first clear evidence that Saturn’s moon Enceladus exhibits signs of present-day hydrothermal activity which may resemble that seen in the deep oceans on […]
During 10 years of discovery, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has pulled back the smoggy veil that obscures the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Cassini’s radar instrument has mapped almost half […]
Researchers studying data from NASA’s Cassini mission have observed that Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, behaves much like Venus, Mars or a comet when exposed to the raw power of the […]
Ten years ago, an explorer from Earth parachuted into the haze of an alien moon toward an uncertain fate. After a gentle descent lasting more than two hours, it landed […]
The ruddy color of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is likely a product of simple chemicals being broken apart by sunlight in the planet’s upper atmosphere, according to a new analysis […]
NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn’s moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth’s poles. This lofty cloud, imaged by […]
