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 ...

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 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.

In 2005, NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter took images of Saturn's moon Enceladus, and discovered geysers blasting particles of water ice into space from fractures near the south pole.

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 ...

Just 310 miles/500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus—which is geologically active because of the gravitational pull of Saturn and its other moons—is a top target for astrobiologists searching ...

In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn's icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon's defining stripes and eruptions ...

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 ...
