This illustration shows NASA's Cassini spacecraft diving through the plume of Saturn's moon Enceladus, in 2015.
Two veteran NASA missions are providing new details about icy, ocean-bearing moons of Jupiter and Saturn, further heightening the scientific interest of these and other "ocean worlds" in our solar system and beyond. The findings are presented in papers published Thursday, April 13, 2017, by researchers with NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn and Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA: Illustration of Cassini Spacecraft Diving Through Plume of 'Ocean World' Enceladus
Yesterday announced two moons in the solar system are the most likely places for life and the Rockhouse is most pleased to see one of them was Enceladus, the Rockhouse pic, and the other is Europa, subject of a quite beautiful movie of the same name.
Ed: it's more fashionable to say the movie is eponymously-named
I know. That's why I don't do it.
Ed: in space, no-one can hear it when you say horrific, awesome, iconic, etc?
Ah, you saw that movie too.
