Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ...

How can scientists estimate the pH level of Enceladus' subsurface ocean without landing on its surface? This is what a study ...

Lab simulations show that Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon, is actively producing building blocks of life.

Excess heat is flowing from the north pole of Enceladus, hinting at a careful energy balance deep that may have kept the subsurface ocean stable over geologically significant timescales, boosting its ...

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 ...

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 ...

First of all, yes, it’s pronounced Enceladus , not enchiladas. Enceladus is Saturn’s sixth largest moon, but it would be ...

Cassini image looking across the south pole of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus on 30 November 2010. Jets of water from the moon's underground ocean are visible bursting through cracks in the ice.
