Explore how mass spectrometry is transforming planetary science – delivering key data from space missions to Titan, Venus and ...

1916: First day of the Battle of the Somme: the British Army suffers its worst day, losing 19,240 men. 1920: French tennis superstar Suzanne Lenglen beats Dorothea Chambers 6-3, 6-0 to win the ...

Nearly 400 years ago, Galileo looked at the Pleiades star cluster through his telescope and noticed that the seven or so ...

The final snap was of Saturn itself, even capturing where the spacecraft would ultimately plunge to its final destination. Explaining that impressive final photo, NASA said: "This monochrome view is ...

Cassini carried a probe called Huygens to the Saturn system. The probe, which was built by ESA, parachuted to the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, in January 2005—the most distant ...

A NASA, European Space Agency (ESA) and Italian Space Agency partnership produced Cassini-Huygens, the uncrewed, fully robotic interplanetary spacecraft set to explore Saturn and its many moons.

The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft showed us a new view of the Saturn system. But it took a long road to get there, from mission development to its launch 25 years ago.

In September 2017, the NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft mission ended its 20 years in space by burning up in Saturn’s atmosphere. The end-of-mission orbits was designed to better understand the ...

ESA engineers have determined why the space agency's Huygens probe suddenly began spinning the wrong way 15 years ago as it descended to the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The reversal ...

Cassini released Huygens December 24, 2004, nearly six months after first entering Saturn’s orbit. The probe then underwent a sleepy, three-week fall through space before encountering Titan’s ...
