JWST’s NIRSpec aurora maps, 10 times sharper than Cassini-era data, exposed a planetary heat engine of aurora, winds, and ...
A decades-old mystery about Saturn has finally been solved thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists discovered that Saturn’s changing “rotation rate” was never caused by the planet ...
For years, Saturn made no sense. Measure its rotation rate using radio signals from its aurora and you get one number. Use the planet’s gravity field and you get another. Worse still, the ...
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have identified the mechanism behind one of planetary science’s most persistent puzzles: why Saturn’s measured rotation rate appears to shift by ...
How do Saturn’s northern lights drive the planet’s atmospheric winds? This conundrum has baffled scientists for decades, but now a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Space ...
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth’s Northern ...
