Saturn’s moons have been the subject of a lot of astronomical attention over the years. They range in size from the ...

Saturn’s moon Enceladus has giant geysers blasting water into space at supersonic speeds. Does it also harbour life beneath its crust? Originally broadcast on 14 Dec 2016.

A theory involving a "mushy zone" of ice along the moon’s fissures could explain the enormous plumes erupting from its south pole. Saturn's icy moon Enceladus has long been considered a ...

New research suggests Enceladus’ famous geysers may not be shooting straight from its hidden ocean—but from mushy ice pockets instead. Scientists now think Enceladus’ plumes erupt from salty ...

The Legged Exploration Across the Plume (LEAP) program would utilize a specially designed jumping robot to explore the lower parts of the massive plumes emitted from Enceladus. The concept is ...

Enceladus is a 309-mile-wide (498 kilometers) icy moon of Saturn. In 2006, the Cassini mission discovered that giant plumes of water vapor are spewing out from deep fractures in the surface ...

For the study, the researchers used a series of computer models to simulate the various layers that could exist between the liquid ocean of Enceladus and the plumes that discharge from its south polar ...

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 ...

The new models are called the Formentor VZ5 Century Bronze Limited and the Enceladus Grey Limited editions — the latter model shares its name with a giant of Greek myth, as well as one of Saturn ...

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 ...
