A major breakthrough came from NASA when scientists discovered a volcano close to the south pole of Jupiter’s moon Io, using data collected by the agency’s Juno spacecraft. The infrared data were gathered in December 2017, when Juno was about 470,000 kilometres away from the moon, using its Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft may had ended its journey around Saturn, but before its final plunge into the planet's atmosphere, the spacecraft captured a weird ring shadow effect in Saturn's Ionosphere.

Cassini-Huygens' 18-year-long journey came to an end on Friday after NASA lost all connections from it post its final dip into the Saturn's atmosphere. Here is a timeline of how events folded from its launch to the grand finale.

The probe was running low on fuel, and so the 13-year tour of the Saturn system mission had to end.

Nasa's robotic spacecraft Cassini that has been orbiting Saturn for 13 years is set for a final dive towards the planet and burn up in its atmosphere in a "grand finale" after it flies ast Titan, Saturn's largest moon, on September 15.

Get ready to witness no one has ever seen as NASA's Cassini has been scheduled to explore an unknown territory during the last leg of its journey Grand Finale.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has reached a new milestone as it observed Saturn's solstice - that is, the longest day of summer in the northern hemisphere and the shortest day of winter in the southern hemisphere - arriving the planet and its moons this week.

Cassini is set for its second dive through the narrow gap between the planet Saturn and its rings on Tuesday at 3.38 p.m. EDT, NASA said.

NASA Cassini spacecraft has send some farewell pictures from Saturn rings in which both Earth and its moon are visible like two shiny dots at a distance of nothing less than 870 million miles.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft is all set for its final 22 orbits between Saturn and its rings. It will be called as Grand Finale and as always Google is celebrating it on its homepage.
