When these collisions take place, the icy particles vaporize, forming charged water molecules that interact with Saturn’s magnetic field; ultimately, falling toward Saturn, where they burn up in ...

That's ring rain. It turns out, Saturn's magnetic fields are slowly but surely draining away the rings, so we're lucky to visit the rings now, because every 30 minutes, they lose enough water to ...

One of Earth's defining features is its magnetic field. It forms a protective shield against high-energy particles ejected by ...

Cassini Imaging Team, SSI, JPL, ESA, NASA Charged solar particles flow along Saturn's magnetic field to its poles, generating a display (in infrared) akin to Earth's northern lights. Right click ...

The rings, influenced by Saturn's magnetic field, are gradually being pulled into the planet. The phenomenon of "ring rain" may lead to their disappearance in the future. Saturn, a gas giant with ...
