Miranda eventually fell out of sync with one of the other Uranian moons, nullifying the mechanism keeping its interior warm. Researchers don't think Miranda has fully frozen over yet though, as it ...

Despite the lack of a dedicated mission to the planet, scientists have learned plenty through ground observations and space ...

They will be studied by the European Space Agency’s JUICE mission, which is already en route to the Jovian System. The moons Titan, Enceladus and Mimas at Saturn are also though to contain ...

NARRATOR: Any mission to Enceladus is a ways off. But there is another world much closer to home that has more volcanoes strewn across its surface than any other planet. To find it, we have to ...

more subtler versions of the energetic geysers erupting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. According to the mission’s lore, those plumes are part of the glue that sealed the deal on Clipper ...

Another ice-shelled moon of the outer Solar System, Enceladus, stunned NASA’s Cassini mission team when the Saturn world revealed a magnificent jet to the spacecraft in 2005. The Hubble Space ...

Two other long-sought missions achieved top ranking in the most recent decadal survey of planetary scientists: a Uranus orbiter and a mission to Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, a smaller, more ...

While the mission is not expecting to find evidence ... Other icy moons like Enceladus are known to give off epic plumes of water vapor from their surface, in which material from the oceans ...

Mission cost: $5.2 billion ... Callisto's ice sheet may be even thicker, possibly hiding an ocean. Saturn's moon Enceladus has geysers shooting up, but it's much farther than Jupiter.

Europa Clipper will peer beneath the moon’s icy crust where an ocean is thought to be sloshing fairly close to the surface ...
