Cassini detected fresh organic compounds in ice plumes from Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, strengthening the moon’s potential ...
In this image captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2009, dramatic plumes of water ice and vapor are seen erupting from the south pole of Saturn's ...
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 ...
Does Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, contain the ingredients for life as we know it, or even just life as we know it? This is what a recent study published | Space ...
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 ...

Looking Inside Icy Moons

The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus, are ...
How much ice is Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, losing to space when it discharges its interior ocean? This is what a recent study published in the Journal | Space ...
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 ...
Irish planetary scientists have christened a spider-like feature on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa as “Damhán Alla”, which ...
Craters, clusters, rings, islands, and young stars -- the universe is filled with wonder no matter where you point a camera, ...
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be showing signs of active eruptions from ice volcanoes on its surface, according to new ...
