The European Space Agency (ESA) is moving forward with a mission to Saturn’s moon Enceladus, one of the most promising places ...

Scientists could one day find traces of life on Enceladus, an ocean-covered moon orbiting Saturn. NASA/JPL-Caltech, CC BY-SA Saturn has 146 confirmed moons – more than any other planet in the solar ...

The Enceladus Orbilander is a planned mission that in the 2030s should reach Saturn's sixth-largest moon in a bid to find ...

Ice grains from Enceladus reveal the richest mix of organics yet, offering the strongest clues that the moon’s hidden ocean ...

Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new ...

Cassini detected fresh organic compounds in ice plumes from Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, strengthening the moon’s potential ...

What can the plumes of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, teach scientists about the latter’s internal chemistry and potential for life? This is what a recent study presented at the Joint Meeting of 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 ...

Cassini data reveal how Saturn’s moon Enceladus leaks enough heat to keep its buried ocean warm and potentially habitable over geologic time.

Researchers have found Saturn’s moon Enceladus has heat circulating beneath its icy crust, meaning the chemistry of biology ...

Enceladus’ small size and icy surface is no limitation to its extreme volcanism. Enceladus erupts over 660 pounds of water per second, with jets reaching up to 6,000 miles into space. These massive ...
