A 100-year storm on Saturn has challenged our understanding of the gas giant planet.

A three-million-mile-high tsunami hits a "heartbroken" star system.

Where do the crystals of salt in space come from? Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft has found tiny grains of salt in a sample of asteroids, suggesting that the presence of liquid water may be more common in the solar system's largest asteroid population than previously thought. Sodium chloride, better known as table salt, is not the kind of mineral that captures the imagination of scientists. However, researchers at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory were intrigued by some tiny salt crystals found in asteroid samples. This is because such crystals can only form in the presence of liquid water.

Franz Kafka (July 3, 1883 - June 3, 1924) was a Czech German-language novelist who worked as an insurance clerk in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His main works include novels such as "The Trial", "The Castle" and "The Metamorphosis".

Enceladus is the sixth largest moon of Saturn and the brightest moon in the solar system. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1789. Before the Voyager probe of Saturn in the 1980s, Enceladus was known only as an ice-covered moon. Voyager revealed that Enceladus is about 500 kilometers across (about one-tenth the diameter of Saturn's largest moon, Titan) and that its surface reflects almost 100 percent of sunlight. Voyager 1 found that Enceladus's orbit is in the densest part of Saturn's E ring, suggesting that there may be some connection between the two; Voyager 2 found that, despite its small size, the moon has both ancient craters on its surface and younger, geologically distorted topographic formations - some of which are as young as 100 million years old.
