The probability that one of Saturn’s moons may harbour life has risen, experts say, after finding an array of carbon-based ...

Complex organic molecules that form part of the chain of chemical reactions that can result in life's building blocks have ...

Scientists reexamining data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have uncovered exciting new evidence from Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. The spacecraft detected complex organic molecules being blasted into ...

A fresh analysis of old data has found rich organic chemistry within the hidden ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus ...

Scientists found new evidence to strengthen the case that Enceladus, small moon of Saturn about 310 miles wide, may have conditions suitable for life.

As missions prepare to visit ocean worlds like Enceladus and Europa, new findings show scientists must first learn to ...

Scientists have uncovered new types of organics in icy geysers spouting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus, bolstering the likelihood that the ocean world may harbor conditions suitable for life.

Researchers from Technische Universität Dresden developed a compact laser drill capable of penetrating ice efficiently, ...

When we imagine finding alien life elsewhere in the solar system, we usually think of little green people (or more likely microbes) living on the surface of a rocky Earth-like world. Most of our ...

At the time of writing, the number of known moons in the solar system reached over 950. Most of them are so savage that there is little chance life as we know it could ever take hold. But there is at ...

A laser-based ice drill can bore deep, narrow channels into ice while keeping both mass and energy requirements lower than ...

The evidence that an ocean-covered moon orbiting around Saturn could support life just got a little stronger. Enceladus, a small moon harboring a vast ocean beneath its icy surface, has long been ...
