What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

A new model of Enceladus "tiger stripe" fractures and their connection with the moon of Saturn's ice geysers and subsurface oceans could have implications for its ability to support life.

A new study proposes that seeding the orb’s underground ocean with microbes might help us learn how to make other worlds habitable ...

Scientists have long viewed Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which harbors an ocean beneath its thick, icy shell, as one of the best places to search for life beyond Earth.. Now, a new analysis of data ...

In our solar system, Saturn’s moon Enceladus is unique: It provides scientists direct access to a global ocean hidden beneath the moon’s icy surface. That’s because Enceladus is constantly ...

Just 310 miles/500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus—which is geologically active because of the gravitational pull of Saturn and its other moons—is a top target for astrobiologists searching ...

In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn's icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon's defining stripes and eruptions ...

A 2010 image captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows water from the subsurface ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus spraying from huge fissures out into space.

Saturn is orbited by 146 moons, with Enceladus being the sixth largest at approximately 500km in diameter. This small, icy moon is characterized by its highly reflective white surface and geyser ...
