Future space missions will further our knowledge of tidal heating and orbital resonances, processes thought to create spectacular volcanism and oceans of magma or water on other worlds.

Although NASA’s Cassini mission ended in September, new findings are being released about what the spacecraft “learned” about Saturn and its moons during the final days.

About 1,900 km (1,200 mi) above the cloud tops, Cassini hit the atmosphere proper and its 11-m (36-ft) magnetometer boom started to act like a sail, making the spacecraft rotate backward.
