Wobbling of a Saturn moon hints at what lies beneath

Astronomers using Cassini data infer the presence of a potentially rugby ball-shaped rocky core or sloshing sub-surface ocean in Mimas. The moon's unusual wobble reveals surface displacement of up to 6 kilometers, contradicting predictions of uniform interior structure.

New images capture 'stealth merger' of dwarf galaxies

A team of astronomers has captured stunning images of a nearby dwarf galaxy undergoing a 'stealth merger' with its host. The resulting stellar stream is visible in the outer regions of NGC 4449, providing insights into galaxy formation and evolution.
