What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

Scientists have long viewed Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which harbors an ocean beneath its thick, icy shell, as one of the best places to search for life beyond Earth.. Now, a new analysis of data ...

Enceladus, Hsu said, is now likely the “second-top object for astrobiology interest” – the first being Jupiter’s icy moon and fellow water-world, Europa.

For the first time, phosphorus — the rarest of six elements upon which life as we know it depends — has been found in a tiny ocean-bearing moon in our solar system.

Enceladus is one of Saturn's many moons. The tiny icy world has the potential to harbor life and is one of the most intriguing destinations in the solar system.

Like Enceladus, Europa is thought to harbor a watery ocean beneath its ice — an ocean that might be much bigger than Enceladus' sea. "It's very possible that the same things might be happening ...

Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be the best place to start with any questions about inoculating a foreign world with life, due to it having seemingly all the necessary ingredients for life as we ...

Suddenly, Enceladus transformed from an odd, slightly puzzling snowball to one of the most exciting places for astrobiologists. That’s because where there’s water on Earth, there’s life.

Enceladus, a frozen moon orbiting Saturn, has caught the interest of scientists because of the plumes of water vapor that erupt from its icy crust, which are possible evidence for a subsurface ocean.

Enceladus is one of the best candidates for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Three of Saturn's moons, Tethys, Enceladus and Mimas, are captured in this photo from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
