NASA continues to uncover new discoveries wherever it deploys its technology. A few years ago, it discovered that the Cassini ...

Life on Earth can be found in the strangest of places, from tens of thousands of metres in the sea to a bubbling tar pit in Trinidad. But scientists have suggested that life – alien life – could be ...

Phosphates have been found on Saturn’s moon Enceladus, in a new breakthrough discovery that boosts hopes for finding alien life in our solar system. It is the first time phosphorus has been found in ...

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.

For decades, the search for life beyond Earth has focused on distant exoplanets and the rusty plains of Mars. Now, a small icy world in orbit around Saturn is emerging as one of the most compelling ...

In this image provided by NASA, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured this image of Enceladus on Nov. 30, 2010, with the shadow of the body of Enceladus on the lower portions of the jets is clearly ...

At the time of writing, the number of known moons in the solar system reached over 950. Most of them are so savage that there is little chance life as we know it could ever take hold. But there is at ...

Scientists are to send a spacecraft to hunt for aliens potentially hiding in our solar system. The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced a mission to Saturn's moon Enceladus, as it has all the ...

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 ...

The talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, now in its 26th year. In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft made a groundbreaking discovery—it found a massive plume of ice and gas erupting ...

For years, Saturn’s small icy moon Enceladus has drawn attention for the erupting jets at its south pole. Those dramatic plumes proved that a deep saltwater ocean sits under the crust. New research ...
