A theory involving a "mushy zone" of ice along the moon’s fissures could explain the enormous plumes erupting from its south pole.

Enceladus has large ice geysers that spew microscopic ice particles into the upper atmosphere. This sensor will be used to count the density of incident ice particles to a spacecraft orbiting the moon ...

Cassini can help here too: at the south pole of Enceladus there are ice volcanoes that spew out clouds made of gas, water steam and ice. The probe is taking samples in this cloud, which are giving ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, has been monitored by the Cassini Spacecraft, allowing NASA to learn more about its icy surface and oceans beneath the ice.

Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, has a surface largely covered in fresh ice, making it one of the most reflective bodies in the Solar System. It features geyser-like volcanoes that emit jets of ice ...
