The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, 1 being highly acidic, 14 being highly alkaline, and 7 ...

According to recent analysis, water vapor plumes erupting from cracks in Enceladus’ icy shell have a pH between 10.1 and 11.6 ...

An image of Saturn's moon Enceladus taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) The discovery has implications beyond Enceladus' corner in the solar system.

Scientists have long viewed Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which harbors an ocean beneath its thick, icy shell, as one of the best places to search for life beyond Earth.. Now, a new analysis of data ...

Saturn's E-Ring, as imaged here by Cassini, is created by it's frozen Moon, Enceladus, ejecting icy... [+] material over time. Enceladus is the bright spot at the image's center.

Saturn's moon Enceladus has an even better chance of supporting extraterrestrial life than previously thought: researchers have discovered its oceans are more complex than first believed.

Enceladus is too far from the sun for life to employ photosynthesis, but the chemical energy released by geothermal activity could help fuel any hypothetical microbes in the moon’s ocean.

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 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.

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has earned a certain amount of attention for its waterworks show — it was caught squirting plumes of mineral-rich water out of “tiger stripe” cracks near its ...

Saturn is orbited by 146 moons, with Enceladus being the sixth largest at approximately 500km in diameter. This small, icy moon is characterized by its highly reflective white surface and geyser ...

Steady geysers of water ice on one of Saturn's icy moons appear to erupt more strongly when the moon is farthest from its ringed parent planet, scientists say. The warm vents at the south pole of ...
