Rare Titan Shadow Transits Will Sweep Across Saturn in Summer 2025
In a rare celestial alignment, Saturn’s largest moon Titan will cast its shadow across the planet in a series of stunning transits during the summer and early fall of 2025. These events, visible through telescopes, appear as dark “holes” drifting across Saturn’s face as Titan eclipses the planet. The phenomenon occurs only near Saturn’s e...

New "Kiss-and-Capture" Theory Explains Pluto's Formation of Largest Moon, Charon
A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies briefly merging and then separating, leaving Charon in a stable orbit around Pluto. Unlike traditional collision models, this event challenges previous theor...

Chandrayaan-3 Rover Discovers Ancient Moon Crater Older Than South Pole-Aitken Basin
Chandrayaan-3 has made a significant discovery by identifying an ancient crater on the moon, measuring 160 km in diameter. This crater is believed to be older than the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the largest and oldest impact basins on the lunar surface. The data, collected by ISRO’s Pragyan rover and Vikram lander, offers valuable insights i...

Asteroid Impact Reoriented Jupiter’s Largest Moon Ganymede 4 Billion Years Ago
A colossal asteroid impact about 4 billion years ago dramatically altered Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. The asteroid, estimated to be 186 miles wide, struck Ganymede with such force that it reoriented the moon and removed a significant portion of its original surface. This impact not only created a massive crater but also affected Ganymede's in...

NASA's New Horizons Data Helps Identify a Possible Source for Pluto's Moon Charon's Red Cap
NASA's New Horizons mission data along with novel laboratory experiments and exospheric modelling has helped scientists to reveal the likely composition of the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and how it may have formed. The team realistically replicated Charon surface conditions to measure the composition and colour of hydrocarbons produced on Charo...
