Diving within Saturn's rings [PDF]

Science, 2018
![Figure][1] A diagram of Cassini's final orbits (blue curves), showing the last ring-grazing orbit and the 22 Grand Finale orbits. IMAGE: NASA JET PROPULSION LABORATORY Launched in 1997, the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004 and spent the following 12 years orbiting far outside the planet's rings.

A Long‐Term Study of Jupiter's Equatorial Winds at the Top of the Troposphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere is covered by dense hazes that extend from the main cloud level to the lower stratosphere. These hazes are variable in optical depth and brightness, although the causes of these variations are unknown. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of the equatorial hazes in 2022 in near‐infrared wavelengths ...

The Bombardment History of the Giant Planet Satellites

The Planetary Science Journal
The origins of the giant planet satellites are debated, with scenarios including formation from a protoplanetary disk, sequential assembly from massive rings, and recent accretion after major satellite–satellite collisions.

The Untrue Island Re-visited: Three Encounters with Orford Ness

American and British Studies Annual
The present paper deals with three texts inspired by the topography and secretive military history of the East Anglian offshore shingle spit Orford Ness. Each may be considered a specific example of a hybrid genre.

Water‐Ice Dominated Spectra of Saturn's Rings and Small Moons From JWST [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets
JWST measured the infrared spectra of Saturn's rings and several of its small moons (Epimetheus, Pandora, Telesto, and Pallene) as part of Guaranteed Time Observation program 1247.

Oscillatory Loading in Ice Friction Experiments: Implications for Tidally Driven Activity Along the Tiger Stripes of Enceladus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract We explored the effect of oscillatory loading on the frictional response of polycrystalline water ice and ice + ammonia to better understand the behavior of tidally modulated strike‐slip faults on the icy satellites of the outer solar system, particularly Saturn's moon Enceladus.

Did Saturn's rings form during the Late Heavy Bombardment ?

, 2008
The origin of Saturn\' s massive ring system is still unknown. Two popular scenarios - the tidal splitting of passing comets and the collisional destruction of a satellite - rely on a high cometary flux in the past.

Main-oval Auroral Emission from a T6 Brown Dwarf: Observations, Modeling, and Astrometry

The Astrophysical Journal
From a series of 5 GHz Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio observations taken over a 1 yr span, we present the detection of compact, highly polarized radio emission from the T6 brown dwarf WISE J112254.72+255022.2, compatible with electron cyclotron ...
