A recently resurfaced NASA image of Saturn’s moon Iapetus is stirring renewed interest across the internet, showing an ...

A photo of a mysterious feature on Saturn’s moon that has baffled scientists is now going viral. The planet is some 793 ...

Iapetus features a high-contrast surface of light and dark. As such, it has been dubbed the yin and yang of the Saturn moons. Iapetus, like Rhea, is thought to be composed of ice and rock.

Iapetus, a moon of Saturn, has baffled astronomers since the early days of telescopic observation. It seemed to vanish and reappear without explanation, earning it a mythical status in early ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launched in 2021 and has captured incredible photos of Uranus and some of its 28 moons.

then [Saturn] could get out of the resonance.” They’re calling this hypothetical lost moon Chrysalis and think it existed somewhere between the orbits of the moons Titan and Iapetus.

The giant ridge around the middle of Saturn moon's Iapetus that makes it resemble an oversize walnut may have essentially formed as a "hug" from a dead moon, researchers say. Iapetus, the third ...

The researchers started Chrysalis fairly far out, orbiting between the existing moons Titan and Iapetus. Assuming it was similar in size to Iapetus (one of Saturn's larger moons), this orbit would ...

But there’s a rarer sight on display: Saturn’s moon Iapetus, now roughly 11th magnitude and about 1’ southwest of the planet. Tomorrow, Iapetus will be less than an arcminute due south of ...

The researchers estimated that Chrysalis was roughly the size of Iapetus, Saturn's third-largest moon that has a diameter of a little over 910 miles (1,470 km). "We assume it was mostly composed ...

Their model estimates Chrysalis was roughly the size of Iapetus, Saturn's third-largest moon. Wisdom and his colleagues theorize that sometime between 100 million and 200 million years ago ...

According to their calculations, Chrysalis would have had to be the size of Saturn's third-largest moon Iapetus before getting torn to pieces. "It’s a pretty good story, but like any other ...
