NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has begun transmitting its latest images of Saturn’s icy, geologically active moon Enceladus, acquired during the dramatic Oct. 28 flyby. During that flyby the probe passed ...

It has been almost six years since NASA's Cassini probe performed its "Grand Finale" dive into Saturn, but scientists are still making discoveries thanks to the wealth of data that was beamed back. A ...

Could Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, hold the ingredients for life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of researchers from Harvard ...

Scientists have found traces of phosphorus, a fundamental ingredient for life, in ice grains spewed into space by Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. Enceladus is a tiny (310-mile-wide, or 500-kilometer ...
