NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has snapped never-before-seen images of Saturn showing the planet from perspectives above and below its ring system, the US national space agency has announced.

THE Cassini spacecraft has found evidence of liquid water spewing from geysers on one of Saturn's icy moons, raising the tantalising possibility the celestial object harbours life.

Astronomers have spotted a swirling debris cloud around a sun-like star where terrestrial planets similar to Earth may be forming in a process that could shed light on the birth of the solar system.

The international Cassini spacecraft has spied a tiny new moon hidden in a gap in Saturn’s outer ring, scientists said.

A SPACECRAFT heading for Saturn has returned the first close-up pictures of the planet’s oddball moon, Phoebe.
