Ocean on Enceladus May Be Short-Lived
Three years ago, surprising evidence came out for an ocean underneath the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. But a new report indicates just how hard it may be to keep water from freezing on this tiny moon.

Organics Erupting from Enceladus
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft “tasted” and sampled a surprising organic brew erupting in geyser-like fashion from Saturn’s moon Enceladus during a close flyby on March 12. Scientists are amazed that this tiny moon is so active, “hot,” and brimming with water vapor and organic chemicals.

Explore Enceladus...Online!
This new web interactive from NASA’s Cassini mission features dazzling new imagery of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. It details the discovery of the plumes of ice particles and water vapor erupting from the surface and extending hundreds of kilometers into space. These plumes have put Enceladus on the map as an object of astrobiological study; the Cassini spacecraft just completed a specialized fly-through to get a closer look.

Cassini Flies Through Watery Plumes of Enceladus
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft performed a daring flyby of Saturn’s moon Enceladus on Wed., March 12, flying about 15 kilometers per second (32,000 mph) through icy water geyser-like jets. The spacecraft snatched up precious samples that might point to a water ocean or organics inside the little moon.

A Deeper Look into the Watery Plumes of Enceladus
NASA astrobiologists are hard at work examining the nature of the plumes of water vapor recently discovered on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. If a new geological theory about the plumes, published in this week’s Nature, proves to be correct, it would preclude the existence of a subsurface ocean on the moon. The theory is testable with existing data from NASA’s Cassini mission…
