As missions prepare to visit ocean worlds like Enceladus and Europa, new findings show scientists must first learn to ...

What is the habitability potential on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary ...

The probability that one of Saturn’s moons may harbour life has risen, experts say, after finding an array of carbon-based ...

What can the plumes of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, teach scientists about the latter’s internal chemistry and potential for life? This is what a recent study presented at the Joint Meeting of the ...

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 ...

Global color mapping and high-resolution imagery of Enceladus reveal a consistent pattern of ice particle deposition, confirming predictions based on plume particle trajectory models. This deposition ...

The evidence that an ocean-covered moon orbiting around Saturn could support life just got a little stronger. Enceladus, a small moon harboring a vast ocean beneath its icy surface, has long been ...

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus loses ice mass to space by cryovolcanic geyers, and new TACC supercomputer simulations have improved estimates of ice mass loss. These findings help with understanding and ...

The same organic molecules, unaffected by radiation, were present. These findings suggest that the warm water ocean beneath the icy surface of Enceladus may well contain extraterrestrial life. However ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Every square inch of Saturn’s small moon Enceladus overlies a potentially habitable ocean. Observations of Enceladus’ slight wobble as it orbits Saturn can only be explained if the ...

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 ...
