Six worlds will align for a "parade of planets" on June 3, although only a few of them will be visible to the naked eye. Here's what you need to know about the rare alignment.

Huge "tiger stripe" fault lines seen on Saturn's moon Enceladus raise hopes that a "long-lived" ocean containing potential alien life may lurk beneath the moon's icy shell.

Two projects using the James Webb Space Telescope will look at the auroras of Uranus and Saturn to discover what processes make them tick.

The icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter shoot enormous geysers into space that may contain evidence of life. New research shows that NASA only needs to grab a few grains of ice from these plumes to find out for sure.

A new study of Saturn's 'Death Star' moon Mimas finds evidence of a young, underground ocean that may be hospitable to early forms of life.

Bright spots that appear and vanish on Saturn's moon Titan have a seemingly simple explanation — they're floating chunks of frozen organic material.

Scientists have discovered complex molecules in the gas and vapor plumes escaping from Enceladus's icy core — and one of them, hydrogen cyanide, is a precursor for life.
