Scientists and astronomers believe that Saturn's moon "Enceladus" contains vast oceans of water, which may exist under its outer icy crust.



The ice-covered moon Enceladus, orbiting around Saturn, is Saturn's sixth-largest natural moon, which is becoming an interesting target for scientists.


Like Jupiter's moon Europa, Enceladus is also one of the water-filled moons of our solar system, where it is speculated that ancient and archaeological life may be present here due to the presence of water.




Saturn's moon Enceladus was first discovered in 1789 by the famous astronomer William Herschel. In 2014, the Cassini spacecraft, which explored the Saturnian system, tested this ice-frozen moon,


From which we came to know that the oceans are present under the thick ice layers (about 20 km thick ice layer) of this
The confirmation of the presence of water on Enceladus gave scientists and astronomers the opportunity to study the hidden oceans on this satellite (Moon).



A new study examining ocean currents on Saturn's sixth-largest moon has shown that the pattern of water flow here can affect it in the same way that the waters of Earth's oceans do on their own.


Formation of a thick layer of ice
Recent observations by the Cassini spacecraft have revealed active volcanic events driven by internal heat at the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus.



Due to the hot core of Enceladus, the water on it boils upwards, which cools as it reaches the surface of the satellite and then completely cools down to form ice on the upper layer of the satellite.


Due to which a layer of ice about 20 kilometers thick is formed on this moon of Saturn, Enceladus. Although scientists believe that this process has been happening on Enceladus for the last several hundred years.After Cassini, if life is discovered in the oceans of Saturn's natural sixth moon "Enceladus" by another mission in the future, then we will get the answer to our question that "life exists beyond Earth". Or not?".



Along with this, it will also be proved that for life to flourish, it is not necessary that the atmosphere like Earth is necessary.
