4.1K. Continuing its exploration at the ringed giant of the solar system, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has completed a dive through the ice plume ejecta material of the Saturnian moon Enceladus.

It's been a busy year for Cassini, making observations of Hyperion and Dione, before discovering evidence of a global ocean beneath the moon Enceladus' icy surface. Now the probe is back at ...

Streaking through space at 19,000 mph, NASA's Cassini probe will pass just 30 miles above the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus Wednesday, flying through tenuous geyser-like plumes of ice ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft will sample the ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus on Wednesday, Oct. 28, when it flies through the moon's plume of icy spray.

In addition to Waite and Glein, the authors of the Science study, “Cassini Finds Molecular Hydrogen in the Enceladus Plume: Evidence for Hydrothermal Processes,” include Rebecca Perryman, Ben ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has observed Enceladus' tiger stripe vents behaving in a way that will force astronomers to rethink their current models regarding the enigmatic moon's internal plumbing.

The NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission has directly sampled the water plumes jetting into space from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The findings from these fly-throughs are the strongest evidence ...
