What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

Enceladus has an exosphere, which is the scientific way of saying that it has a very thin and variable atmosphere. The exosphere at Enceladus is mostly made up of water vapor and is primarily ...

A European collaboration of scientists have shown that certain lifeforms can survive under Enceladus-like conditions. This means that there could be organisms living on Enceladus right now.

The discovery of complex organic molecules in plumes that rise from Enceladus’ subsurface ocean further suggests that that Saturn’s moon could support life as we know it.

just before its deliberate plunge into the planet’s atmosphere. This groundbreaking mission, launched in 1997, greatly expanded our understanding of the Saturnian system and provided unprecedented ...

The Cassini spacecraft, which has been unveiling the secrets of Saturn's giant moon Titan, has found an atmosphere on a second moon circling the ringed planet.

To make these lander missions happen, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory team has been working on a robot that could handle the search for life and already tested it on the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. ...

Enceladus has joined the small but select band of moons known to have an atmosphere. The Cassini spacecraft, currently orbiting Saturn, has found a layer of water vapour surrounding the icy moon ...

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.

As noted, Enceladus isn't the only moon of Saturn that is deemed to potentially have life, as its largest moon, Titan, has a dense and hazy atmosphere caused by specific chemical reactions that ...

The Cassini spacecraft’s two close flybys of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus have revealed that the moon has a significant atmosphere. Scientists, using Cassini’s magnetometer instrument for ...

For 13 years, it squirreled away data, before plunging into the gas giant to taste its atmosphere for the first and last time. ... Enceladus hovers close to the plane of Saturn’s rings.
