What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

How can we explore Saturn's moon, Enceladus, to include its surface and subsurface ocean, with the goal of potentially discovering life as we know it? This is what a recent study presented at the ...

Despite the surface seeing a chilly minus 330 degrees Fahrenheit, Enceladus’ interior luxuriates at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit, thanks to tidal heating from Saturn.

Enceladus’ south pole plume produces two peaks over the course of the moon’s 33-hour orbit. One theory was that the tiger-stripe faults open and close, allowing varying amounts of material to ...

Saturn has 146 confirmed moons– more than any other planet in the solar system – but one called Enceladus stands out. It appears to have the ingredients for life. From 2004 to 2017, Cassini– a joint ...

An artist's rendering shows a cutaway view of Enceladus's interior. NASA's Cassini spacecraft discovered the moon has a global ocean and likely hydrothermal activity. Illustration by NASA/JPL-Caltech ...

The interior ocean discovered by Cassini has made Enceladus - about one-seventh the size of Earth's moon and the sixth largest among Saturn's 146 known natural satellites - a prime candidate in ...

High concentrations of phosphorus, an essential element for all biological processes on Earth, have been detected in ice crystals spewed from the interior ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus, ...
