Enceladus

Enceladus is a small, icy moon orbiting Saturn, known for its remarkable features. Beneath its icy crust, there’s a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Geysers near its south pole eject water vapor and ice particles into space, indicating active geological processes. These plumes contain organic compounds, making Enceladus a prime candidate in the search for extraterrestrial life. Its reflective surface appears bright due to clean ice, and its activity suggests a complex internal structure. Studying Enceladus helps scientists understand icy worlds and the potential habitability of moons beyond Earth.
