The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, 1 being highly acidic, 14 being highly alkaline, and 7 ...

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

Enceladus is an ice-covered moon that harbors an enormous ocean of liquid water underneath an icy crust. Scientists have previously found other key building blocks of life in the moon's ocean ...

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 ...

Suddenly, Enceladus transformed from an odd, slightly puzzling snowball to one of the most exciting places for astrobiologists. That’s because where there’s water on Earth, there’s life.

Enceladus, a frozen moon orbiting Saturn, has caught the interest of scientists because of the plumes of water vapor that erupt from its icy crust, which are possible evidence for a subsurface ocean.

Enceladus is one of the best candidates for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Three of Saturn's moons, Tethys, Enceladus and Mimas, are captured in this photo from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be the best place to start with any questions about inoculating a foreign world with life, due to it having seemingly all the necessary ingredients for life as we ...

For Dr. Craft, Enceladus is an intriguing place but not the only place. Other moons like Europa, which orbits Jupiter, also have under-ice oceans.An upcoming NASA mission, Europa Clipper, will ...
