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

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 ...

CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) — Scientists have uncovered new types of organics in icy geysers spouting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus, bolstering the likelihood that the ocean world may harbor conditions ...

A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. A new study strengthens the case for Enceladus being a habitable world.

For decades, the search for life beyond Earth has focused on distant exoplanets and the rusty plains of Mars. Now, a small icy world in orbit around Saturn is emerging as one of the most compelling ...

Cassini spacecraft data has been used to create the infrared views of Saturn's moon Enceladus. "Reddish areas indicate fresh ice," according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

At the time of writing, the number of known moons in the solar system reached over 950. Most of them are so savage that there is little chance life as we know it could ever take hold. But there is at ...

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.
