New Johns Hopkins University simulations offer an intriguing look into Saturn’s interior, suggesting that a thick layer of helium rain influences the planet’s magnetic field. The models, published ...

Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...

What processes are responsible for shaping Jupiter and Saturn’s polar weather? This is what a recent study published in the ...

Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.

Saturn's moon Mimas, just 250 miles wide, could have a liquid water ocean under its outer icy shell, according to new research led by Max Rudolph at UC Davis. If such moons are the right size, water ...

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.
