Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new models provide sharper insights into subsurface conditions that future ...

New findings from NASA’s Cassini mission show that Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons and a top contender for extra-terrestrial life, is losing heat from both poles – indicating that it has the ...

Saturn’s small icy moon Enceladus has quietly moved to the center of the search for life beyond Earth, and the latest ...

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus loses ice mass to space by cryovolcanic geyers, and new TACC supercomputer simulations have improved estimates of ice mass loss. These findings help with understanding and ...

With the recent discovery of traces of what may or may not be or have been life on Mars, eyes are turning to another world in the solar system which might harbor extraterrestrial life. Old data from ...

After analyzing data collected in the final days of the Cassini mission, researchers say there is new evidence that Saturn's moon Enceladus could support life. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window ...

A new study published Nov. 24 in Nature Astronomy sheds light on what could be going on beneath the surface of these worlds ...

A new study reveals how shifting ice shells on icy moons can cause dramatic pressure changes, sometimes enough to boil their hidden oceans. The outer planets of our Solar System are accompanied by ...
