  • Few worlds in our solar system are as compelling as Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. This tiny, yet fascinating world is covered in intriguing features, the most noticeable being its bright white surface, and those enormous fractures that crisscross its frigid terrain. But it's not just its surface where incredible things have been discovered, below its frozen crust, a secret subsurface ocean exists that harbors the right ingredients necessary for life. So much of Enceladus still remains a mystery. Still, by using the stunning images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, we can peel back the layers of this tiny world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before.

    I hope you enjoyed this closer look at Encledaus! What an amazing little moon! If I sounded a bit off, I apologise but I've recently had a wisdom tooth removed and as you can imagine, having a gaping hole in your mouth doesn't help with reading scripts. But I gave it my best!

That being said, even one is no fun at all. I have no doubt of that. I hope you are feeling better. Love your channel, by the way.

    He's right those pictures are stunning and also amazing as hell imagine walking on the surface, would it sound like the crunch we hear when we walk through snow if there was an atmosphere for sound to travel through, would it be like walking on baby powder, or it would be hard as granite and seem like the rocky mountains all over our world?
    Anyways maybe they need to rename it Hoth or Hoth system!

      Perhaps. But it's very likely that under that Earthlike surface Titan too has an ocean. If so, unlike Enceledus where there is little gravity and no atmosphere, Titan could be a place where research bases could be set up without needing pressurised suits or radiation protection. All you'd need is heating and oxygen.

    I was wondering 10 years ago whether to bring Mars back to life, we shouldn't lead to a collision between the enceladus and Mars. We would raise the temperature, increase the mass and gravity of Mars, provide water and create an atmosphere. Who knows, maybe it would be possible to restore the electromagnetic field by adding Energy to the liquid core of Mars. The second option would be a collision between IO and Europe.

    If Enceladus is constantly spewing out water, how is that water getting replenished in the ocean? It would eventually start running out of water. Does the bottom of the ice crust melt while it's being replenished on top by the snow? Still, since some of it is becoming part of the ring, never to return, the water will eventually start to run low.
