Overall, the models that fit the data place Saturn's core-envelope boundary a significant distance from the planet's center, roughly 60 percent of the way to the surface.

Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

The core’s stability may help explain a long-standing puzzle: why Saturn emits more energy than it gets from the sun. After the planet formed, it was warm with the heat of its birth, but then it ...

A new paper suggests Saturn’s core is more like a fluid than a solid, and makes up more of the planet’s interior than we thought. With its massive rings stretching out 175,000 miles in ...

Scientists used Saturn's famous rings like a seismograph to study processes in the planet's interior. The researchers found its core must be fuzzy rather than solid, consisting of a 'soup' of ...

This article breaks down the core signs that suggest whether Saturn is empowering you or acting as a cosmic obstacle. If Saturn is placed in Libra (sign number 7) in your chart, it is considered ...

There will be several chances to see the shadow of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, pass across the ringed planet's Earth-facing ...

A pair of Caltech scientists say that, based on seismic waves in its rings, Saturn likely has a "fuzzy" planet core made of ice, rocks, and lots of helium and hydrogen. The post Waves in Saturn ...

The numbers told them that Saturn’s middle must be a diffuse core, approximately 60 percent of the planet’s radius, containing 17 Earth masses of ice and rock.

Saturn is the least-dense planet in the solar system, with an average density less than that of water, meaning it would float in a gigantic bathtub. Saturn has a dense core made of metals such as ...

What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

The core of Saturn appears to consist of a ‘soup’ of rocks, ice and metallic fluids that slosh around and affect the planet’s gravity. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
