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.

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 ...

Fresh analysis of Cassini data has revealed new complex organic molecules inside ice grains spewing from Enceladus. These discoveries strengthen the case that the moon’s underground ocean hosts ...

Cassini narrow-angle camera image looking across the south pole of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus on 30 November 2010. There are complex organic molecules spewing from Saturn’s sixth-largest moon, ...

Could the icy moons of our solar system hold life beyond our planet? Keith Cooper looks at how planetary scientists plan to find out ...

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 ...

CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) — Scientists have uncovered new types of organics in icy geysers spouting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus, bolstering the likelihood that the ocean world may harbor conditions ...

Recent photographs captured by a spacecraft reveal the stunning phenomenon of ice geysers erupting on Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. This discovery not only adds to the intrigue surrounding ...

A fresh look at data collected by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has uncovered more evidence that Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be able to support life, with additional complex organic molecules identified ...
