Enceladus

One of them is called Enceladus. It's a satellite which was all made of ice, and we measured it from orbit.

Results like this make Enceladus one of the most exciting places we've found in the solar system.

Features the size of a bus are resolvable in this highly detailed image taken of Enceladus' active tiger stripe region.

Jets of water vapor and ice spray from cracks in the surface of Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn.

Every time those nearby satellites fly by, they give Enceladus a gravitational pluck, causing it to flex and stretch slightly.

Of course, natural gas comes from decaying biological matter on Earth. But this is not the conclusion we reached for Enceladus.

The paradox arises only if you assume that Enceladus's present-day tidal heating should precisely match its present-day heat output.

Explanation: Do underground oceans vent through the tiger stripes on Saturn's moon Enceladus?

observed the salts in Saturn's outermost ring, which is believed to be composed of material ejected from Enceladus.

They concluded there could still be a deep ocean on Enceladus, but that there are also other possible explanations for the moon's jets.

An artist's rendering shows the Cassini spacecraft flying past a geyser of water vapor and dust erupting from Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.

At its closest point on Nov. 2, Cassini flew about 100 kilometers (60 miles) above the surface of Enceladus.

Since 2005, when Cassini spotted plumes jetting out from Enceladus, the moon has become one of the hottest topics in solar-system science.

In this unprocessed image, sunlight brightens a crescent curve alongthe edge of Saturn's moon Enceladus and highlights its misty plume.

Other moons affected by tidal forces are Enceladus (Saturn) and Triton (Neptune).

Carolyn Porco mentioned another one called Enceladus the other day.

Like Europa and Enceladus, Triton has a flat landscape with very few impact craters.

The Cassini spacecraft observed the way the plume dimmed starlight shining from behind as the probe zipped past Enceladus in 2005 and 2007.

And that crescent there is the moon Enceladus, which is about as big as the British Isles.

Enceladus: a giant who was defeated in battle and buried under Mount Etna by athena.

Pictured above, a high resolution image of Enceladus is shown from a close flyby.

It would alsohelp them determine whether Enceladus has the conditions necessary forlife.

Closer to the spacecraft than Saturn, Enceladus is a mere 60, 000 kilometers from Cassini's camera.

That's one more picture of Enceladus.

This is when Cassini flew beneath Enceladus.
