Although the rings are made almost purely from ice, scientists think that Saturn's icy moons have rocky cores. The ...

Detecting life on the icy Saturn moon of Enceladus could be achieved without even landing, but it wouldn't be easy, ...

A recently published study suggests that Saturn's rings formed after two icy moons collided a few hundred million years ago.

The TRIPLE-nanoAUV 2 project (TRIPLE stands for "Technologies for Rapid Ice Penetration and subglacial Lake Exploration," while AUV means "Autonomous Underwater Vehicle") is building craft that could ...

Scientists have discovered how Saturn's moon Enceladus blasts tiny silica particles into space, where they eventually help ...

Astrobiologists and planetary protection experts are far more concerned about contaminating Enceladus than about contaminating Titan.

Data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that CO2 ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa is coming from its underground ...

Missions to Enceladus are being planned too. “It’s a really exciting time to be a planetary scientist,” says Morgan Cable of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). “We could ...
