of Mimas and Enceladus to the roughly 13%–15% of Europa, Titan, and Ganymede. As a result, these findings could help inform the design of many sample-collection missions destined for IOWs.

To solve that problem, a team of German researchers at the Technical University in Berlin figured that, instead of having a ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is an obvious target but Enceladus (pictured) is at least as ... [+] intriguing for human colonization due to a suspected subsurface ocean. This rough timeframe for ...

Locomotion makes things move, and certain forms of locomotion make them move better than others. Those more effective types ...

From both a scientific and technology point of view, Enceladus came out on top, followed by Titan and then Europa. Enceladus has all the ingredients necessary for a potentially habitable environment.

They exist on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, three of Jupiter's largest moons, and Enceladus, Titan and Mimas at Saturn. Underground oceans fascinate planetary scientists because only geologically ...

A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it. Searching for life ...

Volatiles also appear in seemingly unlikely places (Mercury, Moon, and the Asteroid Belt) and in dramatic fashion, they reveal ongoing activity on moons of the outer Solar System (Europa, Enceladus, ...
