New observations from the Cassini spacecraft appear to support the idea that active, icy volcanoes may exist on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The volcanoes are thought to behave similarly to those ...

The moon spent a few million years as a volcanic wasteland, covered with ongoing eruptions that spewed from mountains and ...

Ancient volcanic heat may have shaped the moon from the inside out, keeping one side thinner, warmer and more geologically active than the other, a new study suggests.The moon's nearside is scarred by ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon Titan, capturing the first evidence of cloud formation in this moon's northern hemisphere. Titan is the second ...

Cryovolcanoes on icy moons like Triton (a moon of Neptune) and Enceladus (a moon of Saturn) function similarly to typical volcanoes, but they spew material like water, ammonia, and methane instead of ...

Jupiter and Saturn have been locked in a battle for the ... a 3.6-metre optical telescope on the summit of the dormant volcano Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Scientists have been capturing ...

Over the last few decades, plenty of smaller irregular moons have been detected, often using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope atop Hawai‘i’s dormant Mauna Kea volcano. Saturn's moon Rhea ...

In our solar system, we have two distinct categories of planets — the small rocky ones, including Earth and Mars, and the gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn. However, exoplanets span a great ...

Saturn's rings loop for hundreds of thousands ... But there is another world much closer to home that has more volcanoes strewn across its surface than any other planet. To find it, we have ...

Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn are well-known names ... Europa isn’t as much of a showoff as Io, but scientists hypothesize it may also have volcanoes. It's still unclear whether that potential volcanic ...

Enceladus, a small moon orbiting Saturn, presents a fascinating case of cryovolcanism – volcanoes that, instead of spewing hot lava, eject water, ice, and vapors. This icy world surprises ...

Enceladus has been a favorite of planetary scientists to possibly support life in its underground global ocean because of the water it jets out from surface volcanoes. Cassini’s mission ended in 2017 ...
