#enceladus — Public Fediverse posts

After a crazy first day at #EPSC2026, day 2 slows down a bit for my schedule. Thought to take advantage of that with a bit of sightseeing, but of course the weather is looking a bit.. Dutch... ah well, I guess I will use fhe time to work on my proposal, and drop in to a few #Enceladus talks

Dark Moon, Dramatic Plume

Below a darkened Enceladus, a plume of water ice is backlit in this view of one of Saturn most dramatic moons. This image was captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.

#Enceladus’ subsurface ocean 🌊 has #hydrothermal vents on its seafloor. Enceladus’ ocean contains molecular hydrogen — which #NASA has called “candy for microbes” 🦠 — as well as other building blocks for life, Iike carbon dioxide and methane. It’s pretty similar to the conditions that allowed ocean life to propagate on early Earth. https://www.planetary.org/articles/where-are-the-ocean-worlds-in-our-solar-system

Blauwzuur gevonden in de pluim van Enceladus

Met behulp van gegevens van de Cassini-missie van de NASA hebben planeetwetenschappers verschillende verbindingen gevonden die van groot belang zijn voor de bewoonbaarheid van Enceladus, de ijsmaan van Saturnus.
