Could There Be Life On Saturn's Moon Enceladus? (4/22/2008)

Could There Be Life On Saturn's Moon Enceladus?Could microbial life exist inside Enceladus, where no sunlight reaches, photosynthesis is impossible and no oxygen is available? To answer that question, we need look no farther than our own planet to find examples of the types of exotic ecosystems that could make life possible on Saturn's geyser moon. The answer appears to be, yes, it could be possible. ...> Full Article


How Saturn's Moon Enceladus Violently Spurts Dust And Water Plume Into Space: New Theory (2/27/2008)

An enormous plume of dust and water spurts violently into space from the south pole of Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. This raging eruption has intrigued scientists ever since the Cassini spacecraft provided dramatic images of the phenomenon. ...> Full Article


Hot spot on Enceladus causes plumes (12/13/2007)

Hot spot on Enceladus causes plumesEnceladus, the tiny satellite of Saturn, is colder than ice, but data gathered by the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn and Titan has detected a hot spot that could mean there is life in the old moon after all. In fact, for researchers of the outer planets, Enceladus is so intellectually hot, it's smokin'. ...> Full Article


Could Enceladus's Icy Plumes Pose A Hazard To Cassini? (8/30/2007)

Could Enceladus's Icy Plumes Pose A Hazard To Cassini?On 12th March 2008, Cassini will swing by Saturn's moon Enceladus at an altitude of less than 100 kilometres at the point of closest approach. This will give scientists and unprecedented opportunity to study the plumes of water vapour emanating from the "tiger stripe" fissures near the moon's south pole, but it has also given the Cassini team pause for thought as to whether ice grains lofted by the jets could damage the spacecraft. ...> Full Article


Frigid Enceladus: An Unlikely Harbor For Life (8/15/2007)

Frigid Enceladus: An Unlikely Harbor For LifeA new model of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus may quell hopes of finding life there. Developed by researchers at the University of Illinois, the model explains the most salient observations on Enceladus without requiring the presence of liquid water. ...> Full Article
