Scientists Puzzled by a Strange Dark Spot Fading on Saturn’s Moon Enceladus
A mysterious dark spot on Saturn's moon Enceladus has baffled scientists after it faded over several years. Discovered through NASA’s Cassini mission, the spot's sudden disappearance raises questions about the moon's geology. Experts have ruled out shadows and image artefacts, suggesting that the feature could be the result of an impact or a depo...

New Chemical Models Might Reveal Whether Icy Moons of Saturn and Jupiter Contain Life
Recent studies aim to determine the habitability of Saturn's moon Enceladus using improved chemical models. These tools simulate how organic compounds interact with icy environments under extreme conditions. The research, led by Charity Phillips-Lander and Florent Bocher, focuses on phenomena such as organic-doped ice pores, replicating conditions ...

Ingredients For Life Exist On Saturn's Moon, Says NASA. Twitter Excited
NASA explains post - "Our Cassini spacecraft has found that hydrothermal vents in the ocean of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus are producing hydrogen gas, which could potentially provide a chemical energy source for life."

Deep-Sea Life On Earth Gives Us A Clue To What Aliens Would Be Like
As the spacecraft Cassini flew past Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, the orbiter detected molecular hydrogen, a finding announced Thursday. It's a nifty discovery, hinting that heated vents beneath Enceladus's oceans may have the right conditions for life. We didn't find any actual evidence of extraterrestrial organisms, though, despite NASA's cryptic ...

NASA Spots An 'Impossible' Cloud On Titan - For The Second Time
Saturn's moon Titan has been called the most Earthlike world found to date. It's the only other place in the solar system where stable liquid sits on the surface - seas of liquid methane flow into channels that have created magnificent canyons - and scientists have suggested that the icy world might be able to support some kind of alien life.

Scientists To Look For Aliens On Jupiter And Saturn's Icy Moons
In one of its most ambitious projects in deep space, a team of NASA researchers are proposing to send robots at the centre of icy moons to explore the subsurface ocean for presence of life.

Moons Of Saturn May Be Younger Than Dinosaurs: Study
Some of Saturn's icy moons as well as its famous rings might be modern adornments, and their dramatic birth may have taken place a mere hundred million years ago, more recent than the reign of many dinosaurs, a new study suggests.

NASA Sends a Probe Diving Through Distant Ice Geysers in Search of Alien Life
Wednesday, at 11:22 a.m. Eastern time, NASA's Cassini orbiter will make a close swipe at Saturn's moon Enceladus -- a moon recently proven to be completely covered in ocean beneath its icy crust. The plan is for the spacecraft to dive into icy plumes that shoot out of the moon's frozen surface.
