Cassini delivered spectacular findings. Enceladus, only 313 miles (504 kilometers) in diameter, harbors a liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust that spans the entire moon. Geysers at the moon's ...
H ow 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 ...
challenging the idea that the eruptions are directly linked to the deep subsurface ocean — and, ultimately, that Enceladus could support life (as we know it, at least). The team believes there ...
Credit: NASA/ESA/STScI/USGS Enceladus is a small, icy moon located a billion miles farther away from the sun than the Earth is, NASA said. An icy crust lies atop the moon's liquid ocean.
