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.

Of these moons, Titan and Enceladus are the only two that exhibit potential conditions for life, as Titan is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere and contains lakes of liquid ...

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.

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.

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 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 ...

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. ...

Chalk up one more feat for Saturn’s intriguing moon Enceladus. The small, dynamic moon spews out dramatic plumes of water vapor and ice — first seen by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft in 2005.

The observations reveal that Saturn's moon Enceladus is the only moon in ... It also solves a 14-year mystery that had scientists puzzled over the source of the water in Saturn's upper atmosphere.
