Cassini Bags Enceladus 'Tigers'
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 16, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft has successfully completed its flyby over the "tiger stripes" in the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus and has sent back images of its passage. The spacecraft also targeted the moon Tethys. The tiger stripes are actually giant fissures that spew jets of water vapor and organic particles hundreds of kilometers, or miles, out into space. Whil ... more Raisin' Mountains On Saturn's Moon Titan
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 13, 2010Saturn's moon Titan ripples with mountains, and scientists have been trying to figure out how they form. The best explanation, it turns out, is that Titan is shrinking as it cools, wrinkling up the moon's surface like a raisin. A new model developed by scientists working with radar data obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows that differing densities in the outermost layers of Titan ca ... more Cassini Hunting Enceladus 'Tigers' With Night Vision
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 13, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft will be hunting for heat signatures at the "tiger stripes" in the dim south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus on Friday, Aug. 13. The closest approach will bring the spacecraft to within about 2,500 kilometers (1,600 miles) of the surface of Enceladus. The tiger stripes - which are actually giant fissures that spew jets of water vapor and organic particles h ... more |

Russia To Launch Moon Probe In 2012Razvilka, Russia (RIA Novosti) Aug 05, 2010 Russia's Federal Space Agency Roscosmos will launch a probe bearing a neutron generator to study the moon's surface in 2012, a leading space researcher said on Tuesday. "Roscosmos plans to send to the moon a spacecraft bearing a neutron generator developed by our institute to study lunar surface," said Yevgeny Bogolyubov, deputy chief designer of the Automation Engineering Scientific Research Institute. He also said the generator would be used to study the surface of Mars. "The IGN-10K ... read more |
