A “FORMER Nasa engineer” has allegedly claimed that aliens are living in our solar system and creating rings around planets like Saturn. Dr Norman Bergrun, a mysterious figure who is said to have been employed at Nasa’s Ames Research Center, reportedly claimed that gigantic UFOs...

ALIEN life may be thriving in a warm underground ocean on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, research suggests. Scientists say tidal forces could have kept the sea liquid for billions of years, enough for organisms to have developed. This year Nasa spacecraft Cassini found the first...

NASA has discovered a planet which has about 60 times the mass of Earth in a habitable area in space called Goldilocks. The space agency’s world hunting mission called the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has spotted a Saturn-like planet it is provisionally calling TOI...

When NASA’s Cassini mission arrived at Saturn, it pressed through the haze surrounding the ringed planet’s largest moon, Titan, to reveal a complex, liquid-covered world with the potential to support life. Now, researchers are proposing a return to Titan with a mission that would investigate...

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft flew over Titan on June 7 and July 25 and captured strikingly different photos of the moon’s high northern latitude using the probe’s Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) and Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). Only the VIMS (the bottom, color image) was...

Iapetus, a Saturn moon with jumbled colors, shows its strange surface shapes in a new view from the Cassini mission, which is currently exploring the gas giant. The picture shows Cassini Regio, a dark, dusty region on the moon that is somewhat longer than the...

Humanity’s light at Saturn has gone out. NASA’s robotic Cassini spacecraft burned up in the ringed planet’s atmosphere Friday morning (Sept. 15), ending a remarkable 13-year run at Saturn that has revolutionized scientists’ understanding of the outer solar system and its potential to host life....

After 20 years spent traveling the solar system and 13 years spent circling Saturn, the remarkable Cassini mission is coming to a bittersweet end. On Friday, Sept. 15, mission scientists and enthusiasts will witness the self-destruction of the Cassini probe, as it burns up and...

NASA and the Cassini team have given us another gorgeous blast from Saturn’s past. The Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn from the summer of 2004 until Sept. 15, 2017, when the low-on-fuel probe performed an intentional death dive into the ringed planet’s cloud tops. NASA has...

NASA’s Cassini Orbiter captured a breath-taking view of Saturn impossible to see from anywhere else. Using it’s wide-angle camera, with the violet filter, the spacecraft snapped this incredible image on Oct. 28, 2016. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute) NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is known for some of...
