Visible in the early-morning sky today, Saturn’s two-toned moon Iapetus reaches superior conjunction just 1.4′ due south of Saturn. The proximity makes the now-11th-magnitude moon easier to find, as ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...
