Researchers found new classes of organic molecules not spotted before that could be involved under the right circumstances in ...

The discovery strengthens the case for a new mission to orbit and land on Enceladus and search for evidence of life.

Fresh analysis of Cassini data has revealed new complex organic molecules inside ice grains spewing from Enceladus. These discoveries strengthen the case that the moon’s underground ocean hosts ...

Cassini data reveals complex organic molecules in Enceladus’s icy jets. The findings suggest its underground ocean may host ...

A new analysis of ice grains bursting from Enceladus' water ice plumes strongly suggests life is possible on Saturn's ...

An ocean flowing beneath the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus is spewing ice that holds the building blocks of life.

Enceladus has long been considered a prime candidate in the search for life beyond Earth because of its hidden ocean and plumes of water erupting from cracks near its south pole.

Simulations indicate that Saturn’s moon Enceladus ejects less ice into space than previously estimated. In the 1600s, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini aimed their telescopes at ...

The ocean hidden under the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus harbours complex organic molecules, a study said Wednesday, ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft data indicates Saturn's moon Enceladus hosts complex organic molecules in jets from its subsurface ...

Complex organic molecules, which are essential for the formation of life's building blocks, have been detected in the icy plumes of Enceladus. The discovery comes nearly two decades after Cassini ...
