A theory involving a "mushy zone" of ice along the moon’s fissures could explain the enormous plumes erupting from its south ...

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long fascinated scientists due to its dramatic geysers, which blast plumes of water vapor, ice, and organic molecules into space. These eruptions, first detected by ...

New research suggests Enceladus’ water plumes may originate from a slushy ice layer rather than its underground ocean.

"Tidal forces from Saturn pull on the shell of Enceladus as the moon orbits the planet, just as the sun and moon cause ocean tides on Earth. Variation in the tidal pull laterally across the ice ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, has been monitored by the Cassini Spacecraft, allowing NASA to learn more about its icy surface and oceans beneath the ice.

The thickness of the ice in this region is estimated to ... we chose the Baghdad location." As noted, Enceladus isn't the only moon of Saturn that is deemed to potentially have life, as its ...

For example, as Cassini explored Saturn’s moon Enceladus, it uncovered a trail of ice and gas leading back to Saturn’s E ring. Enceladus is the whitest, most reflective moon in our solar system.

Enceladus has large ice geysers that spew microscopic ice particles into the upper atmosphere. This sensor will be used to count the density of incident ice particles to a spacecraft orbiting the moon ...

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus has long been considered ... against itself — occurs along "tiger fractures" in Enceladus's salty ice shell. "We postulate that the reservoir is not necessarily ...
