Cassini spacecraft data has been used to create the infrared views of Saturn's moon Enceladus. "Reddish areas indicate fresh ...

Long suspected as the source of the icy geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus, Cassini now has now uncovered evidence of an underground water... This diagram illustrates the possible interior of Saturn's ...

Cassini detected fresh organic compounds in ice plumes from Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, strengthening the moon’s potential as a habitable environment beyond Earth.

Blobs of warm ice that periodically rise to the surface and churn the icy crust on Saturn’s moon Enceladus explain the quirky heat behavior and intriguing surface of the moon’s south polar region, ...

Rubbing your hands together on a cold day generates a bit of heat, and the same process of frictional heating may be what powers the geysers jetting out from the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

Scientists on NASA’s Cassini mission have identified 101 distinct geysers erupting on Saturn’s small, icy moon Enceladus and uncovered critical clues to what powers them. Their results, including the ...
