The discovery points to what astronomers have thought for decades, that Saturn's rings were caused by a massive collision about 100 million years ago.

Saturn will undergo a drastic change in the coming months, at least as the planet is seen from Earth. Here's what's going to happen.

Saturn's rings might have formed 100 million years ago when one of its icy moons was ripped apart by the planet's gravity.

In the process of those interactions, however, the moon spun out of orbit, got close to Saturn, and was destroyed, creating the ring material.

We’ll cross Saturn’s ring plane on March 23, 2025, specifically, but there can be anywhere from one to three crossings per half-orbit of Saturn.

Saturn completes an orbit around the sun every 29.5 years. During that solar orbit, "the angle of the Saturn's rings relative to the sun varies by 26.7 degrees," NASA says.

Astronomers have discovered 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, further solidifying the planet as the "moon king" of our solar system. Astronomers from Taiwan, Canada, France and the U.S. announced the ...

The closest the Earth ever comes to Saturn is about 746-million miles, so it’s giant leap to even pick out a few of its moons from this distance, let alone tracking 274 separate moons in orbit.

Launched in 1997, NASA's Cassini spacecraft entered Saturn's orbit seven years later and studied the planet until 2017. The mission was the first in-depth study of the planet, its rings and moons.
