Enceladus May Harbor a Warm Ocean, Life

Back in 2005, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft first revealed that Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, had active geologic activity. It discovered an icy spray issuing out of the moon’s southern polar region as well as temperatures in that region that were higher than expected. Currently, it is being suggested, that there also may be a 6-mile deep, 25 mile thick, ocean beneath the moon’s icy shell. Cassini’s cosmic dust analyzer (CDA) first started picking up signs of miniscule rock particl

NASA finds hidden ocean on Enceladus, possibility of life

According to NASA, one of Saturn’s moons named Enceladus may harbor a hidden ocean containing alien life. Along with other moons like Titan and Europa, Enceladus was on a list of possible prospects for scientists to investigate for possible signs of microbial life. Over the years, however, Enceladus fell off the list while attention was aimed elsewhere. But all that has changed. Recent data collected by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft and Deep Space Network has confirmed what sci

Never Before Seen: New Moon Forming in Saturn’s Rings

For the first time ever, scientists are witnessing the formation of a new moon as it forms within Saturn’s outer rings. According to a recent report, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft recently discovered this icy formation, currently being called “Peggy,” on April 15th as it disturbed the smooth lines of the ring system. But will it grow any larger, leave the ring system, or will it fizzle out and break apart? The lead author on this report, Carl Murray, says that “we have not seen

Discovery of Ocean Waves off Earth?

Discovery of Ocean Waves off Earth?

It seems that just about every week or so scientists are discovering something weird out there in space. Some of these discoveries are more exciting than others, i.e., finally discovering water ice on Mars or discovering a star that’s potentially the size of the orbit of Saturn. But then sometimes new discoveries come and go and few people pay attention to them. I would like to talk about one such discovery: the discovery of possible ocean waves on Saturn’s largest moon,
