When we imagine alien life in books or on TV, we often think of planets like ours inhabited by extraterrestrial people. The Harry Vanderspeigle’s (Alan Tudyk) of the universe are basically human with ...

A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. A new study strengthens the case for Enceladus being a habitable world.

Excess heat is flowing from the north pole of Enceladus, hinting at a careful energy balance deep that may have kept the subsurface ocean stable over geologically significant timescales, boosting its ...

While scientists have spent many years studying Saturn’s stunning rings, their attention recently turned to something else surrounding the sixth planet from the sun. Data from one of NASA’s ...

What is the habitability potential on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated a ...

How can Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, influence its much larger parent planet? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics hopes to address as a team of ...

New supercomputer simulations reveal Enceladus loses 20-40% less material through its plumes than previously estimated, suggesting its subsurface ocean is more stable. This revised understanding, ...

Illustration of the electrodynamic interaction between Enceladus and Saturn. The primary Alfvén wing is shown in blue, and the reflected Alfvén wings in magenta. The arrow indicates the corotation ...
