A major study by an international team of researchers using data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft has revealed a lattice-like structure of crisscrossing reflected waves that flow downstream ...

Scientists analyzing data from NASA’s Cassini mission have discovered complex organic molecules in the plumes of Saturn’s moon Enceladus—the same building blocks that make life possible on Earth.

Does Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, contain the ingredients for life as we know it, or even just life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of ...

What lifeforms could potentially exist within the ocean of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the ...

For nearly two decades Enceladus, a 500-kilometer-wide moon of Saturn, has been a top target in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. In 2005, shortly after arriving in orbit around the ringed planet, ...

New laboratory research suggests that some organic molecules previously detected in plumes erupting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be products of natural radiation, rather than originating from the ...

In this image provided by NASA, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured this image of Enceladus on Nov. 30, 2010, with the shadow of the body of Enceladus on the lower portions of the jets is clearly ...
