Enceladus' Geysers May Not Come from Underground Ocean, Study Suggests
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

New Chemical Models Might Reveal Whether Icy Moons of Saturn and Jupiter Contain Life
Recent studies aim to determine the habitability of Saturn's moon Enceladus using improved chemical models. These tools simulate how organic compounds interact with icy environments under extreme conditions. The research, led by Charity Phillips-Lander and Florent Bocher, focuses on phenomena such as organic-doped ice pores, replicating conditions ...

Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has "Almost All" Ingredients for Life to Survive: Study
The search for alien life just got more interesting as a team of scientists recently discovered new evidence suggesting that Saturn's moon Enceladus has oceans that have all the basic requirements and materials needed for life to survive.

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...

Ingredients For Life Exist On Saturn's Moon, Says NASA. Twitter Excited
NASA explains post - "Our Cassini spacecraft has found that hydrothermal vents in the ocean of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus are producing hydrogen gas, which could potentially provide a chemical energy source for life."

NASA Says Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has Conditions Necessary for Life
In a separate study, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope again found what is likely a plume emitting from Europa.

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 ...

Saturn's Moon Dione Harbours Subsurface Ocean
A subsurface ocean tens of kilometres deep lies within Saturn's moon Dione, offering a long-lived habitable zone for microbial life, according to new data from the Cassini mission.

Scientists To Look For Aliens On Jupiter And Saturn's Icy Moons
In one of its most ambitious projects in deep space, a team of NASA researchers are proposing to send robots at the centre of icy moons to explore the subsurface ocean for presence of life.

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 Spacecraft to Fly Through Icy Spray of Saturn Moon
An unmanned NASA spacecraft is about to make its deepest dive ever into the icy spray emanating from the underwater ocean on Saturn's moon, Enceladus. Work

Nasa's Cassini Probe Spots Global Ocean on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
Previous analysis of Cassini data suggested the presence of a lens-shaped body of water, or sea, underlying the moon's south polar region.

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.
