Mimas, a Tiny Moon Orbiting Saturn, Could Be Hiding an Ocean Beneath Its Frozen Surface
Saturn, the second-largest planet in the Solar System after Jupiter, has always attracted the attention of not just scientists but also amateur astronomers. Given the prominent rings around it, it is easily recognisable. But it has another outstanding feature: more than 60 moons.

Ocean On Jupiter's Moon Europa "Could Be Habitable": Study
Scientists have figured out how the subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa may have formed and determined that this vast expanse of water may have been able to support microbial life in the past.Europa, with an ocean hidden beneath a thick shell of ice, long has been viewed as a potential habitat for extraterrestrial life in our solar system, al...

Deep-Sea Life On Earth Gives Us A Clue To What Aliens Would Be Like
As the spacecraft Cassini flew past Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, the orbiter detected molecular hydrogen, a finding announced Thursday. It's a nifty discovery, hinting that heated vents beneath Enceladus's oceans may have the right conditions for life. We didn't find any actual evidence of extraterrestrial organisms, though, despite NASA's cryptic ...

NASA Sends a Probe Diving Through Distant Ice Geysers in Search of Alien Life
Wednesday, at 11:22 a.m. Eastern time, NASA's Cassini orbiter will make a close swipe at Saturn's moon Enceladus -- a moon recently proven to be completely covered in ocean beneath its icy crust. The plan is for the spacecraft to dive into icy plumes that shoot out of the moon's frozen surface.

NASA Probe Spots Global Ocean on Saturn's Moon
There is a vast water reservoir beneath the icy crust on Saturn's moon Enceladus - now dubbed as "global ocean" - that is behind the fine spray of water vapour and icy particles NASA's Cassini spacecraft has observed for years.

Saturn Moon May Have 'Life-Friendly' Underground Ocean: Scientists
Saturn's battered moon Mimas may have a thin global ocean buried miles beneath its icy surface, raising the prospect of another "life-friendly" habitat in the solar system, scientists said on Thursday.

Saturn moon Titan may harbour ocean below surface
Scientists reported on Thursday on the strongest sign yet that Saturn's giant moon may have a salty ocean beneath its chilly surface.
