According to new research using data from NASA’s Cassini mission, a global ocean lies beneath the icy crust of Satrun’s geologically active moon, Enceladus. Previous data from NASA’s Cassini space mission revealed there was steam, liquid, and ice located at the southern pole of the moon.  But now scientists believe the vast water reservoir is coming from an ocean between the moon’s rocky core and icy crust.  The research is presented in a paper published online this week in t

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

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

There’s been a lot of talk recently of the “polar vortex” that’s sweeping the nation and causing record low temperatures.  Well, it’s important to keep in mind that this isn’t the movies and we’re not in “The Day After Tomorrow.”  Before writing this I started looking up what someone would need in case of a post-apocalyptic winter scenario.  It was actually pretty dull: sleeping bags, hand warmers, extra clothing.  Thanks!  But then I started to think about how other planets
