Saturn's moon Phoebe might be a planetesimal—a remnant of the rocky building blocks of the planets in our Solar System. A new study by Julie C. Castillo-Rogez et al. from Cassini spacecraft data ...
Phoebe was large enough to survive this turbulence. More than 60 moons are known to orbit Saturn, varying drastically in shape, size, surface age and origin.
New images made by the Cassini spacecraft during its fleeting encounter with Saturn’s moon Phoebe show a battered, pockmarked sphere that may be composed primarily of ice-rich material overlaid ...
Saturn's moon, Phoebe, is not an asteroid but a 4.5-billion-year-old primordial body from the solar system's outer reaches, Cassini mission scientists say.
Saturn and several of its moons appear in this image snapped by Cassini in 2007. The entire system, save one moon, appears to have water similar to that of Earth, which is unexpected based on our ...
