PLANET SATURN

Scientists from NASA Goddard have discovered that not only are Saturn's rings younger than previously thought, but also that the rings are actually disappearing at a rapid pace through a process called "ring rain." Infrared observations of Saturn were recorded using the 10-meter diameter Keck telescope in Hawaii. Through a careful analysis, Dr. James O'Donoghue and his team found a series of unusual bright and dark bands extending around the planet's upper atmosphere. It was found that these bands are linked to Saturn's rings by magnetic field lines, indicating that water ice from the rings is "raining" into the planet. This mechanism is called "ring rain," and was discovered using Voyager spacecraft data in the 1980s by study co-author Dr. Jack Connerney. In this process, electrically charged icy dust in Saturn's rings is pulled into the planet along magnetic field lines by gravity. Modeling work by study co-author Dr. Luke Moore shows that if there is a small amount of rain, the ionosphere glows, while if there is a large amount of rain, it becomes dark. In this new study, the rate of water flow into the planet is estimated to be one Olympic sized swimming pool every half an hour, meaning Saturn's rings will be gone in under 300 million years. This is short relative to the 4.5 billion-year age of the solar system. The findings suggest that giant planetary ring systems are not built to last forever.

According to a report by Geek.com, a new study suggests that Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have the potential to produce life as we know it. A team of researchers using data from the Cassini spacecraft examined the icy moon looking for biological molecules. Leader of the study Catherine Neish, found that when exposed to liquid water, organic molecules like the ones on Titan are capable of producing a range of biomolecules, including amino acids. Neish and her team reportedly focused their attention on craters, particularly Sinlap, Selk, and Menrva. The team wrote, “We determine that the best sites to identify biological molecules are deposits of impact melt on the floors of large, fresh impact craters." https://www.geek.com/news/psst-alien-hunters-check-inside-craters-on-saturns-moon-titan-1746989/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

New research from the up-close Grand Finale orbits of NASA’s Cassini mission shows a surprisingly powerful interaction of plasma waves moving from Saturn to its moon Enceladus. Researchers converted the recording of plasma waves into a “whooshing” audio file that we can hear -- in the same way a radio translates electromagnetic waves into music. Much like air or water, plasma (the fourth state of matter) generates waves to carry energy. The recording was captured by the Radio Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument Sept. 2, 2017, two weeks before Cassini was deliberately plunged into the atmosphere of Saturn.

A new study suggests that Saturn played a role in the creation of Jupiter's moons. According to the researchers, a newly formed Jupiter cleared it's solar orbit of dust and debris. But a nearby reservoir of rocks likely provided Jupiter with enough stuff to develop 69 moons. The researchers believe that Saturn's formation pushed some of that debris into Jupiter's orbit, and that rubble eventually formed into it's many moons. The study's lead author stated their findings illustrate how giant planets shape smaller bodies in planetary systems. https://www.geek.com/news/study-saturn-helped-form-jupiters-largest-moons-1737792/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

These observations of Phobos and Saturn were taken by the Super Resolution Channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on Mars Express. The video comprises 30 separate images acquired during Mars Express orbit 16 346 on 26 November 2016. The slight up and down movement of Saturn and Phobos in these images is caused by the oscillation of the spacecraft’s orientation after completing the turn towards the moon. Phobos can be seen in the foreground, partially illuminated, with Saturn visible as a small ringed dot in the distance.

BORDEAUX, FRANCE — A study published in the journal Icarus, suggest that Earth's water is a "simple byproduct" of giant planet growth. During the formation of gas giants such as Saturn or Jupiter, they enter a period of rapid growth. This destabilized nearby water-rich space rocks known as planetesimals[e], bringing them into the planetary orbit. Next, the gravity there would have propelled these to the inner or outer solar system. The researchers speculate some were sent in an inward direction, toward some early form of Earth and seeded it with water. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Go to https://www.patreon.com/tomonews and become a Patron now TomoNews is now on Patreon and we've got some cool perks for our hardcore fans.

On Sept. 15, our Cassini spacecraft concluded its remarkable mission with a plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere. This was the last of 22 close orbits Cassini made between Saturn and its rings as part of the mission’s Grand Finale. No other spacecraft has ever explored this unique region. Although the spacecraft may be gone after the finale, the enormous amount of data collected about Saturn, its magnetosphere, rings and moons during this last dive is expected to yield new discoveries for decades.

WASHINGTON — NASA's Cassini spacecraft is now on course for its last mission that will see it dive and disintegrate into Saturn's atmosphere on Friday. Cassini has been traveling around Saturn and its moons for 13 years, but it is finally running out of fuel, so NASA wants the probe disposed of properly, Space.com reported. The probe sped within 73,974 miles (119,049 kms) of Titan on Sept. 11 in a flyby meant to lower the spacecraft's orbit enough to ensure it will crash into Saturn's atmosphere, NASA officials said, according to Space.com. The main purpose of this last mission is to make sure that Cassini does not contaminate the moons of Titan or Enceladus with Earth microbes. Scientists think the two moons could possibly support life. Enceladus has an ocean of liquid water underneath its icy shell, as well as hydrothermal hot spots in the ocean. Titan is also believed to have a subsurface water ocean. The moon also has lakes and seas of hydrocarbons on its surface. Once Cassini enters Saturn's thick atmosphere, it will take approximately five to six minutes for the probe to fall apart and melt. During its last dive, the probe will be sending data back to Earth in real time for researchers to analyze. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Go to https://www.patreon.com/tomonews and become a Patron now TomoNews is now on Patreon and we've got some cool perks for our hardcore fans.

Originally launched in 1997 the Cassini-Huygens mission was one of the largest space probes ever, a massive space exploration mission which would spend over a decade orbiting Saturn and sending back over 600 gigabytes of scientific data. Using data and images from NASA's Cassini team I talk about the voyages. (and yes I mispronounce a couple of moon names) Background Music is by Kai Angel http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/ https://www.kai-engel.com/ 'daemones' 'daedalus' 'Chance' 'Denoument' 'modum' 'periculum'

On Sept. 13, NASA held a news conference from the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California to discuss details of final mission activities for the agency’s Cassini mission to Saturn. On Sept. 15, the Cassini spacecraft will complete its remarkable story of exploration with an intentional plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, ending its mission after nearly 20 years in space.

In two days time, Cassini will reach the last stage of its Grand Finale when it enters Saturn's atmosphere. Leading up to this moment, Cassini has been approaching the planet closer than it ever has done before. What has it seen and discovered during this time? In this video, I showcase the shepherd moons, rings, and planet of Saturn, giving context to the things Cassini has imaged during the Grand Finale. Just to mention in case it isn't clear in the video, all the imagery in this video is real images taken by Cassini during the Grand Finale. The only imagery which is CGI is the animations where Cassini is in the shot. SUBSCRIBE for more videos about our other planets.

The Cassini-Huygens mission arrived at Saturn in 2004, beginning an epic thirteen-year tour of the ringed planet and its many moons. Cassini and its companion probe, Huygens, were an international collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Cassini carried an impressive array of scientific instruments, including the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) built at Goddard Space Flight Center. By studying the Saturn system in heat radiation, CIRS observed hot spots in a giant Saturn storm, discovered a new hydrocarbon in Titan's smoggy atmosphere, found unexpected surface heating on Mimas and Tethys, and even detected evidence of a liquid water ocean under the icy shell of Enceladus. Join instrument team members Mike Flasar, Conor Nixon, and Carrie Anderson as they retell Cassini CIRS' greatest hits. This director's cut version features an extended introduction and conclusion.

Following over a decade of ground-breaking discoveries, Cassini is now approaching its mission end. With little fuel left to correct the NASA's spacecraft trajectory, it has been decided to end the mission by plunging it into Saturn’s atmosphere on 15 September 2017. In the process, Cassini will burn up, satisfying planetary protection requirements to avoid possible contamination of any moons of Saturn that could have conditions suitable for life. These include Saturn’s largest moon Titan and Enceladus, which has a liquid ocean under its icy crust. The grand finale is not only a spectacular way to complete this extraordinary mission, but will also return a bounty of unique scientific data that was not possible to collect during the previous phases of the mission. Cassini has never ventured into the area between Saturn and its rings before, so the new set of orbits is almost like a whole new mission. These close orbits will provide the highest resolution observations ever achieved of the inner rings and the planet's clouds. The orbits will also give the chance to examine in situ the material in the rings and plasma environment of Saturn. It will also probe the planet's magnetic field at close distances. This video explains Cassini 's final operations, what the Cassini-Huygens mission has taught us about Saturn, the potential for life on its moons and the promise of more science to come.

After 20 years in space, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft will make its suicide plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept. 15. For the team of scientists who began working on the project in the 1980s, it means the end of decades of work that led to scientific progress and never-before-seen images of Saturn's rings, moons and surface.

Radial patterns called spokes move across Saturn's rings in animations made from Cassini spacecraft images over five different time periods. It's not precisely known what they are, but they're likely made of dust particles suspended over the rings by electrostatic forces (maybe generated by teeny micrometeorite collisions with the ice particles in the rings). They move around Saturn much faster than the ring particles, in fact at the same speed as Saturn's magnetic field rotates, making it clear they're connected (magnetic fields can accelerate charged particles like dust).

The Cassini mission’s epic 13-year exploration of Saturn is coming to a close. On Sept. 15, the spacecraft will make a planned plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn in order to protect pristine icy moons that warrant future exploration. As the mission nears its end, team members reflect on this historic, international collaboration. The video uses a combination of animation and actual imagery returned over the course of the mission.
