Current Feed ContentScientists say that a 'global layer of water' exists on Saturn's moon TitanNASA's Cassini spacecraft has discovered evidence that points to the existence of an underground ocean of water and ammonia on Saturn's moon Titan. "We believe that about 100 kilometers (62 miles) beneath the ice and organic-rich surface is an internal ocean of liquid water mixed with ammonia," said Bryan Stiles of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. If the findings turn out to be true, this will be the fourth such moon in our solar system found to have some form of water...Spacecraft Cassini collects sample from geyser on Saturn's moonA very close flyby of Saturns's icy moon Enceladus occurred Wed., March 12, 2008. The fate of the $3.5 Billion mission was in the balance as the bus-sized spacecraft swooped to just 50 km above the surface of Enceladus to sample the frozen spray issuing from liquid water gysers. Water gysers were unexpected because everything else on Enceladus is very much colder than liquid water. The Cassini-Huygens space probe is an international mission involving the cooperative efforts of NASA, the...Cassini spacecraft collects sample from geyser on Saturn's moon EnceladusSpace probe Cassini performed a close flyby of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus on Wednesday. The fate of the $3.5 billion mission was in the balance as the bus-sized spacecraft swooped to just 50 km (30 mi) above the surface of Enceladus to sample the frozen spray issuing from geysers on the the moon's surface. The "water" spraying from these geysers is in the form of dust-sized, frozen water particles, which are ejected into space by gaseous water vapors that build up pressure deep within icy... |
