Organic molecules detected in the watery plumes that spew out from cracks in the surface of Enceladus could be formed through exposure to radiation on Saturn's icy moon, rather than originating from ...

NASA continues to uncover new discoveries wherever it deploys its technology. A few years ago, it discovered that the Cassini ...

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus has long been considered a potential home for life in our solar system. In 2005, NASA's Cassini spacecraft first discovered towering plumes of water vapor erupting from the ...

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long fascinated scientists, with its active geysers and hidden ocean beneath a thick icy shell. Now, a groundbreaking study has revealed new clues that may bring us ...

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 ...

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 small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. A new study strengthens the case for Enceladus being a habitable world.

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 in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of ...

Of all Cassini's discoveries in the 13 years it spent in orbit around Saturn, the oceanic vents of Enceladus rank among the best. Voyager 2's flyby in 1981 had shown that some of the features on the ...

Cassini image looking across the south pole of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus on 30 November 2010. Jets of water from the moon's underground ocean are visible bursting through cracks in the ice.

Organic molecules in Enceladus's plumes may form from surface radiation, not its ocean, reshaping how scientists assess the moon's habitability. (Nanowerk News) Organic molecules detected in the ...
