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

在土星的恩塞拉多斯（Enceladus，通称土卫二。——编注）等被冰层覆盖的外太阳系卫星上，会有微生物或其他外星生命存在吗？ 美国航天局(NASA)的卡西尼号(Cassini)太空船收集的数据带来的引人入胜的新发现显示，的确存在这种 ...

探索土卫二（Enceladus）充满挑战的地形. 根据Cassini飞掠期间拍摄的图像，我们所能了解到的情况是，土卫二的表面对传统的漫游车并不友好，地表布满了山脊和裂隙，不过我们对该地况的确切特性并没有太多了解。

图中展示的是在背景阳光下土卫二Enceladus南极发出的强大水汽喷射流。 卡西尼号探测器此前探测到水热活动，科学家已经证实水蒸汽从土卫二冰壳 ...

Enceladus may well have similar molecules at the bottom of its ocean, McKay says. Cassini has spotted tiny silica particles in the Enceladus plume, which may be fragments of the rocky core that ...

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 ...

Tiny, icy Enceladus is, at a mere 500 kilometres in diameter, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. But thanks to the discovery in July 2005, by NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter, of a remarkable water-rich ...

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.

Enceladus has a multiphasic and compositionally diverse chemical environment that is consistent with a habitable subsurface ocean. The species identified in this work also suggest that this ocean may ...

"Enceladus is … spewing free samples into space. All we have to do is fly by and get it," Cable said. "These opportunities don't come along every day. If we are able, ...
