Saturn's aurora borealis, unlike auroras on other planets, is driven by a powerful weather system. The winds drag Saturn's magnetic field lines.

New research aims to shed light on the puzzling winds on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, whose mysterious weather patterns have puzzled astronomers for decades. New research is shedding light on ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has always stood out among the celestial bodies in our solar system. It is the only moon with a thick, ...

Saturn: Cassini Shows Ring Rain, Extreme Wind and Shadows May Disrupt the Planet's Atmosphere. Published Dec 11, 2017 at 4:05 PM EST. One of the last images of Saturn captured by Cassini on ...

Saturn's atmosphere: The atmosphere of Saturn is thick and dynamic, with powerful winds that can reach speeds of up to 1,100 mph (1,800 kilometers per hour) at the equator.

Hubble examined Saturn from 1996 to 2002, and the Voyager spacecraft did so in 1980 and 1981. A comparison of the measurements might be misleading if Hubble measured winds at a higher altitude ...

Astronomers say the winds of Saturn appear to be slowing dramatically just as NASA’s Cassini spacecraft approaches the ringed gas planet. Other researchers who study giant planets say the ...

Saturn is unique among planets observed to date in that some of its aurorae are generated by swirling winds within its own atmosphere, and not just from the planet’s surrounding magnetosphere.
