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

NASA just made a discovery that could change everything: an underground ocean on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. With the potential ...

From space, Saturn’s moon Enceladus might not seem like a hospitable place for life. Its cold surface is caked thick with fresh ice, marked by craters and active cryovolcanoes that spew ice ...

If Enceladus is barren, however, it could support the theory that life needs an environment on dry land to get started, not an ocean. Regardless of what a mission to Enceladus might discover, the ...

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 ...

Could microbial life exist inside Enceladus, where no sunlight reaches, photosynthesis is impossible and no oxygen is available? To answer that question, we need look no farther than our own ...

Could there be life under the icy surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus? Scientists have found a promising sign. NASA announced on Thursday that its Cassini spacecraft mission to Saturn has gathered ...

Finding some sort of "strange life" on Enceladus would, of course, be an epochal discovery. "That would be pretty cool, but that's a high bar to set.

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

We know that Enceladus has all the basic ingredients for life, so all that’s left to do some work on the ground. NASA has been mulling over such missions, including the proposed Enceladus Life ...

To see if any life forms on Earth could survive on Enceladus, the authors turned to three types of microbes known as methanogenic archaea. These are single-celled organisms that grow in the ...
