Could Saturn's moon Enceladus have oceans and life under its ice?

Creatures called extremophiles, live in very inhospitable places in the oceans near volcanic vents, in subfreezing climes and other places, have given us new insights about life. While the verdict is still out whether there was life on Mars in the past or present, scientists are looking elsewhere. One possible place is under the icy ridges of the Jupiter's moon Europa. But now Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus is showing interest.
Since a craft made it through the smog layed of Saturn's giant Moon Titan, new missions may hold more proof of what may be there. New evidence is finding that there may be liquid water seas maybe even containing containing organic molecules or life may once be discovered under Enceladus and Europa. Robotic crafts may someday drill and dive into these possible cap/ oceans to see what's done there.4/1 (if not date use archives)

The only thing derailing the Mars Rover is NASA

The NASA team did a brilliant job designing, implementing and then getting the two rovers to Mars. To their credit, these two have lasted more then the supposed 3 month span. Now in the fourth year and still truck'in, the only thing that stands in the way for more marvelous research is budget cuts. JPL plans to appeal thought. Stay tuned and see more at

Ocean possibly exists beneath the crust of moon Titan

The pictures of Titan below its smog clouds, organic dunes, lakes, channels and mountains were stunning. Considering all the things that had to go right to accomplish the feat. Now more data that there might be oceans of water and ammonia under the crust of Titan.
The findings were discovered using radar measurements of Titan's rotation.

Its not beer but an organic brew erupting into the skies above Saturn's tiny moon

The Cassini spacecraft orbiting the planet Saturn has now found evidence of organic brew erupting in a geyser-like manner from Saturn's moon Enceladus. On 12 March, scientists are happy about this tiny moon is its apparent inclination for such great and mysterious active.

Found:organic molecule in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star

The Hubble Space Telescope has made the first discovery of an organic molecule in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. This will help identify signs of life on a planet outside our Solar System.

By RSS on March 11th, 2008
