Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new ...

The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus, are ...

The outer planets of the solar system are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky ...

Researchers have found Saturn’s moon Enceladus has heat circulating beneath its icy crust, meaning the chemistry of biology ...

Experts have discovered that the moon is leaking heat from both of its poles, which they say indicates that Enceladus could have the long-term stable environment needed for life to develop.

From Cassini’s awe-inspiring flybys to cutting-edge simulations, scientists are decoding the secrets of Enceladus’s geysers. Supercomputer models show the icy moon’s plumes lose less mass than ...

Enceladus may be leaking heat from both poles—raising hopes that its hidden ocean could stay stable enough to support life.

Saturn’s rings appeared to disappear on November 23 due to a rare optical illusion. The phenomenon, which occurs every 13 to ...

In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini pointed some of the earliest telescopes at Saturn and made a surprising ...

During the weekend, the orbits of Earth and Saturn will combine to create an interplanetary optical illusion for anyone with ...

But scientists have suggested that life – alien life – could be swimming inside the underground oceans of a small, icy moon ...

On 23 November, skywatchers were stunned as Saturn looked strangely bare in the night sky, a rare cosmic moment that made its ...
