What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study accepted to Icarus hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...

For nearly two decades Enceladus, a 500-kilometer-wide moon of Saturn, has been a top target in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. In 2005, shortly after arriving in orbit around the ringed planet, ...

What lifeforms could potentially exist within the ocean of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the ...

Does Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, contain the ingredients for life as we know it, or even just life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of ...

Saturn leads the solar system with 274 moons. From Titan’s methane lakes to Enceladus’ geysers, explore the diverse worlds of ...

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 ...

Of all Cassini's discoveries in the 13 years it spent in orbit around Saturn, the oceanic vents of Enceladus rank among the best. Voyager 2's flyby in 1981 had shown that some of the features on the ...
