Enceladus - Visit the Geysers Size:36" x 24" (91 cm x 61 cm) to its yellowish central coreThe discovery of Enceladus' icy jets and their role in creating Saturn's E ring is one of the top findings of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Further Cassini mission discoveries revealed strong evidence of a global ocean and the first signs of potential hydrothermal activity beyond Earth making this tiny Saturnian moon one of the leading locations in the search for possible life beyond Earth.
