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,...

Scientists Say Saturn Moon's Liquid Lakes Have Waves and Currents
A new paper published in Nature Communications provides more insights into Titan's unusual bodies of water, including waves, currents, estuaries, and straits.

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...

Before Exploring Other Planets, Submarine Will Dive To Earth's Seafloor
NASA is set to send a submarine to the seafloor near Hawaii on August 20 in an effort to find an environment analogous to water worlds like Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus, a media report said today. Taking a closer look at the Earth's seafloor might help the space agency to send a submarine to the outer solar system to explore th...

Astronomers Detect Water In Saturn-Sized Exoplanet's Atmosphere
Astronomers have detected a large amount of water in the atmosphere of a hot, Saturn-mass exoplanet some 700 light-years away.

Life Could Exist On Saturn's Biggest Moon Titan: Study
Liquid water is a requirement for life on Earth. But on Saturn' s largest moon Titan, life might exist beyond the bounds of water-based chemistry, according to a new study by scientists at Cornell University.

How Water Escapes From Saturn Explained
Researchers have found how water ions escape from the Saturn's environment after locating a point from where the ions exhaust out of the planet's atmosphere.

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's rings are raining water, says study
Cosmic rain! Astronomers have discovered that the rings of Saturn produce their own rain that falls onto the planet, having a major impact on its atmosphere.
