More pocked with craters than any other object in our solar system, Jupiter's outermost and second-biggest Galilean moon, Callisto, appears geologically unremarkable. In the 1990s, however, NASA's ...
Scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation ...
For a long time, it has been known that our moon does not have the same type of plate structure under its ground that the ...
Scientists found Titan’s orbit is shifting faster than expected due to tidal dissipation. A recent cosmic event likely ...
The ‘city killer’ asteroid (possibly) heading our way might spare us and slam into the Moon instead, scientists said. The ...
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate ...
The impact on the oceans if the Moon disappeared would be much smaller tides, about one-third the size of what they are now.
New research suggests it is unlikely NASA’s plans to obtain samples from Enceladus' liquid oceans will provide clear evidence ...
Because the Moon is over a quarter the diameter of Earth, the Earth-Moon system is often cited as the pairing in our Solar ...
Uranus has the craziest tilt in your Solar System. Its tilt is about ninety-eight degrees. That means its north pole is ...
