NASA's Cassini spacecraft has had a busy week, snapping stunning new images of two of Saturn's moons -- smoggy Titan on Feb. 15 and wrinkled Enceladus on Feb. 16. Visible in radar images released ...

"Titan and Enceladus, another icy moon of Saturn, are chemically connected by the flow of material through the Saturn system," Cooper said. In one paper, ...

NASA's search for life is taking a bold turn toward the coldest corners of the solar system. Moons like Europa, Titan, and Enceladus are no longer seen as dead rocks - but potential homes for life.

Composition and Surface: Enceladus has a density of 1.61 g/cm 3, which is higher than Saturn's other mid-sized, icy satellites, suggesting a composition that includes a greater percentage of ...

Make way, Titan. Saturn’s small moon Enceladus is becoming one of the hottest places to look for signs of life in the chilly outer solar system.

Enceladus and Titan are two moons from our solar system that exhibit potentially-habitable conditions. On the other hand, we haven't studied them thoroughly enough to discern whether they sport any ...

Enceladus is located some 800 million miles (around 1.3 billion km) from Earth, ... (Titan) is enormous and has a thick atmosphere with liquid hydrocarbons on its surface, ...

"And Enceladus ejects plumes of water into space, ... Titan, and Ganymede. As a result, these findings could help inform the design of many sample-collection missions destined for IOWs. ...

Therefore, the rate of impacts on Titan's surface can inform the rate of water mixed with organic material flowing into the ocean. The researchers found that only around 7,500 kilograms or 16,500 ...

They also include Titan at Saturn, Jupiter’s moons Europa, Callisto and Ganymede, ... More Enceladus showing a global liquid water ocean between its rocky core and icy crust.

In addition to the ocean worlds Titan and Enceladus, the current round of proposed investigations features goals that include sample return from the moon or from comets, a study of Saturn or Venus ...

In 2017, NASA announced that ocean worlds, like Saturn’s moons of Titan and Enceladus and Jupiter’s moon Europa, may be the most likely places to find life beyond Earth.
