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

Europe is quietly positioning itself to attempt one of the most audacious missions in planetary exploration: a dedicated ...

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

Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new models provide sharper insights into subsurface conditions that future ...

Enceladus is Saturn's sixth-largest moon, a 500 km-wide icy world famed for its south polar geysers spewing water from a ...

The moon, pulled like taffy by the complicated gravitational tug of war inside the Saturnian system, heats up and forms an ocean beneath the ice. Every so often, the ice cracks and the moon belches ...

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

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

Saturn's moon Enceladus is known for spewing jets of water-ice into space, with new research revealing a potential mechanism behind this phenomenon. Reading time 2 minutes Jostling on the fault lines ...

A cutaway view shows water rising up from Enceladus’ ice-covered ocean. (NASA / JPL-Caltech Illustration) Phosphorus, an essential ingredient for life as we know it, has been detected for the first ...

A new analysis of old Cassini data has also verified past detections of complex organics in Saturn’s E ring, strengthening the chemical ties between the ring and its progenitor.

The possibility that Saturn's moon Enceladus could support life has strengthened after researchers determined its ocean is likely 1 billion years old, placing it in the sweet spot. Speaking at the ...
