Previously undetected organic compounds have been found in ice ejected into space from Enceladus, making the satellite a ...

Scientists digging back into old Cassini mission data have found something new, and it’s big. During a 2008 flyby of ...

Cassini launched Oct. 15, 1997 on a long-term mission to Saturn and its moons. After a trio of gravity assists, two from Venus and one from Earth, Cassini went racing toward the outer solar system. It ...

Saturn’s bizarre moon Enceladus is a little more mysterious after the recent Cassini flyby found it to be remarkably like a comet in its internal chemistry. “A completely unexpected surprise is that ...

What can the plumes of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, teach scientists about the latter’s internal chemistry and potential for life? This is what a recent study presented at the Joint Meeting of the ...

The geysers of Enceladus, this icy moon of Saturn, continue to reveal their secrets long after the Cassini probe's passage.

What lifeforms could potentially exist within the ocean of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the ...

A fresh look at data collected by NASA's Cassini probe nearly two decades ago has revealed new, complex organic molecules on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus – pointing to tantalizing chemistry taking ...

The ocean hidden under the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus harbors complex organic molecules, a study said Wednesday, offering further evidence that the small world could have all the right ...

Enceladus’ chilly geysers spew chemical compounds that hint at the potential for life in the moon of Saturn’s subsurface ocean. But some compounds within the plumes may have formed via high-energy ...

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 ...
