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

Despite their liquid water and potential for habitability, these moons are very different environments from Earth. On Earth, ...

But on larger icy moons, the ice layer may break up before the water boils, preventing the formation of a boiling ocean.

While the crater-pitted moon may appear geologically dead, researchers have discovered more could be going on under its icy ...

Small icy moons in the outer reaches of our solar system may hide boiling oceans underneath their surfaces, a new study finds.

There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.

A groundbreaking study suggests that beneath the frozen surface of Enceladus, Saturn’s smallest moon, there could be vast, ...

That’s also true for the other moons that provide the gravitational stress. As a result, the internal oceans may actually ...
