A team of researchers has generated a new computer model that successfully simulates the mechanism driving impressive geyser eruptions observed taking place on the Saturnian moon Enceladus.

The Cassini spacecraft has observed geysers erupting on Saturn's moon Enceladus since 2005, but the process that drives and sustains these eruptions has remained a mystery. Now, scientists at the ...

"When you see eruptions that continue for a long time, they'll be localized into a few pipelike eruptions with wide spacing between them." [Video: 101 Geysers on Enceladus: Saturn's Refreshing Secret] ...

Enceladus’ rapid orbit and large geysers spread water widely near Saturn. ... another cryovolcanic eruption captured by Webb could show evidence of life in the hidden world of its ocean.

Over 660 pounds of water erupt from the surface of Enceladus every second, creating visible eruptions that can thrust up to 6,000 miles into space. It's called cryovolcanism, cryo from the Greek ...

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long fascinated scientists due to its dramatic geysers, which blast plumes of water vapor, ...

In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn's icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon's defining stripes and eruptions ...

Voyager 2 saw that Enceladus was covered by fresh, new ice — geologically speaking, ... That may not sound like much, but that still represents hundreds of flights through Enceladus’ eruptions.

A new study proposes that seeding the orb’s underground ocean with microbes might help us learn how to make other worlds habitable ...

Cryovolcanic bodies, which include a handful of other comets and moons in the solar system such as Saturn's Enceladus, Jupiter's Europa and Neptune's Triton, have a surface crust surrounding a ...

Enceladus erupts over 660 pounds of water per second, with jets reaching up to 6,000 miles into space. These massive plumes far exceed the size of the moon itself.
