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

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

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 ...

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 the ...

"We know that some microbes on Earth can tolerate the range of pH found on Enceladus." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. NASA's ...

NASA continues to uncover new discoveries wherever it deploys its technology. A few years ago, it discovered that the Cassini ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
