Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, and the second largest in the solar system. It’s surrounded by beautiful rings.
Saturn Facts - NASA Science
Saturn also has dozens of moons. From the jets of water that spray from Saturn's moon Enceladus to the methane lakes on smoggy Titan, the Saturn system is a rich source of scientific discovery and still holds many mysteries. Namesake The farthest planet from Earth discovered by the unaided human eye, Saturn has been known since ancient times.
NASA Webb, Hubble Share Most Comprehensive View of Saturn to Date
NASA’s Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes have teamed up to capture new views of Saturn, revealing the planet in strikingly different ways.
Saturn Exploration - NASA Science
Cassini studied Saturn from orbit for 13 years before its human engineers on Earth transformed it into an atmospheric probe for its spectacular final plunge into the planet in September 2017. Cassini also carried ESA's Huygens Probe, which landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. From Earth, astronomers have studied Saturn with telescopes for centuries. And the Hubble Space Telescope continues ...
Saturn Moons - Science@NASA
Saturn has 274 confirmed moons in its orbit, far more than any other planet in our solar system. In March 2025, astronomers confirmed the discovery of 128 small moons around Saturn — adding to the already large moon count. Saturn's moons range in size from larger than the planet Mercury – the giant moon Titan – to as small as a sports arena. The small moon Enceladus has a global ocean ...

This infrared global map of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus was created using images acquired by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
Saturn and Titan Resources - Science@NASA
Saturn and Titan Videos Are Titan's Lakes Teeming with Primitive Cells? Saturn's largest moon is covered with the carbon-based building blocks of life and is the only place that we know of besides Earth with large lakes on its surface – made from super-chilled methane instead of water. Could exotic lifeforms be brewing on Titan?
Saturn - NASA Science
This photo of Saturn was taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on October 22, 2023, when the ringed planet was approximately 850 million miles from Earth. Hubble's ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes. Saturn's spokes are transient features that rotate...
Hubble Finds Saturn’s Rings Heating Its Atmosphere
The discovery: Saturn's vast ring system is heating the giant planet's upper atmosphere. The phenomenon has never before been seen in the solar system. It's an unexpected interaction between Saturn and its rings that potentially could provide a tool for predicting if planets around other stars have glorious Saturn-like ring systems, too.
Saturn Moons Facts - Science@NASA
The Voyager and Pioneer flybys of the 1970s and 1980s provided rough sketches of Saturn’s moons. But during its many years in Saturn orbit, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft discovered previously unknown moons, solved mysteries about known ones, studied their interactions with the rings and uncovered new mysteries – including the discovery on an ocean moon with potential ingredients for life ...
