Astrobiologists and planetary protection experts are far more concerned about contaminating Enceladus than about contaminating Titan.

A recently published study suggests that Saturn's rings formed after two icy moons collided a few hundred million years ago.

Detecting life on the icy Saturn moon of Enceladus could be achieved without even landing, but it wouldn't be easy, ...

Although the rings are made almost purely from ice, scientists think that Saturn's icy moons have rocky cores. The ...

Scientists have discovered how Saturn's moon Enceladus blasts tiny silica particles into space, where they eventually help ...

Missions to Enceladus are being planned too. “It’s a really exciting time to be a planetary scientist,” says Morgan Cable of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). “We could ...

Data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that CO2 ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa is coming from its underground ...

An AI-based method that can spot evidence of life in any given sample, and could be used to find traces of life on Mars.

That's a lot of snow. Saturn's tiny ice-covered moon Enceladus isn't only suspected to hold a liquid ocean beneath its icy crust — it's also covered in an astonishing amount of fuzzy ...

The icy crust at the south pole of Enceladus exhibits large fissures that allow water from the subsurface ocean to spray into ...

Ocean moons of the outer solar system hint at ice volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and the tantalizing chance of habitability.

These include the seven largest moons, Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas, which are icy bodies believed to have interior oceans. In addition, there are unresolved questions ...
