SEE ALSO: Extraterrestrial Oceans Could Host Life A new photo taken by the Cassini spacecraft near Saturn shows Earth as a small speck of light, framed and dwarfed by Saturn's famous rings.

In the new study, scientists led by Valerio Poggiali from Cornell University used radar data to show just how much these seas ...

This can be tested by timing radio pulses between Earth and Cassini. Since Cassini was orbiting Saturn, this helped to measure the Earth-Saturn distance and allowed us to precisely track Saturn's ...

Earth isn’t the only planet that experiences equinoxes: Every planet in our solar system has them. In 2009, the Cassini probe in orbit around Saturn captured an equinox on the ringed planet.

Astronomers have discovered a panoply of new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing the ringed gas giant's total up to 274 moons—far ...

And that they were able to pick up from Earth, it turns out. And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens. You can do one critical piece of science with the carrier signal alone and that is ...

Cassini reveals Saturn's secrets For the last 13 years, the Cassini Orbiter has been sending ground-breaking scientific data back to Earth. Transforming our understanding of Saturn, its rings and ...
