A Closer Look At Saturn’s Frozen Moon, Enceladus. What Did We See?

Few worlds in our solar system are as compelling as Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. This tiny, yet fascinating world is covered in intriguing features, the most noticeable being its bright white surface, and those enormous fractures that crisscross its frigid terrain. But it's not just its surface where incredible things have been discovered, below its frozen crust, a secret subsurface ocean exists that harbors the right ingredients necessary for life. So much of Enceladus still remains a mystery. Still, by using the stunning images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, we can peel back the layers of this tiny world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before.

I hope you enjoyed this closer look at Encledaus! What an amazing little moon! If I sounded a bit off, I apologise but I've recently had a wisdom tooth removed and as you can imagine, having a gaping hole in your mouth doesn't help with reading scripts. But I gave it my best! Remember to tap the like button, it really does help support my channel and I look forward to seeing you all on the next upload! :) Rob

Another incredible video, Rob; the editing, the imagery, the presentation superb and highly professional. And don't worry until I read your comment after watching the video I didn't notice any issues speech-wise at all.

[@josephpacchetti5997]

This is an amazing video, Thank you Sir. 🌌

[@leemastro9904]

When I had mine taken out, they took all four at once. To make it even worse, my parents made me do it over Christmas vacation so I wouldn’t miss any school. Consider yourself lucky. That being said, even one is no fun at all. I have no doubt of that. I hope you are feeling better. Love your channel, by the way.

[@elleni-41]

Enceladus is one of my favorite moons..its so bright white..love videos about the moons of Saturn or Jupiter..👍

[@navilandinator4479]

Yeah, I think that Enceladus has the best chance of having life in our entire solar system other than the Earth Also, my favorite moon in the solar system is Saturn's "Iapteus"

[@elleni-41]

@@navilandinator4479 ..i think that also about enceladus,life might be there..

[@pau2k]

Impressive how it's so small yet could retain water like that and support life. I always thought it was at least the size of our Moon which I also realized our moon it pretty big compared to other moons of our solar system.

[@ldubt4494]

Our moon would be big enough to classify as a planet, not dwarf planet if it orbited the sun.

[@karravarney1092]

​@@ldubt4494it does orbit the the sun lol it just rotates around us while it's doing that lol

[@healthyminds9279]

I'm convinced that this is my favorite moon now, as a Winter and snow lover. It even made its own snow ring around Saturn! And a great life candidate to boot.

[@TheLastStarfighter77]

Our solar system's very own version of Hoth - Empire Strikes Back, these small icy moons are absolutely fascinating, and as you mentioned in your video, a great place to potentially find life. Fantastic video, Rob! 👏🏆

[@NonBinary_Star]

there's not nearly enough good, quality, deep dive videos on Enceladus. glad you made this one!

[@trijizvy]

Thousand times my favorite video❤❤❤

[@jbellbird9050]

An amazing video and fascinating to see images of Enceladus from the comfort of my living room. Space is such a wonderland, much of it yet to be discovered. But when we are treated to videos such as these, it opens up a whole new dimension to space knowledge.

[@kimberly-annedixon]

Enceladus is one of my favorite moons of Saturn. Excellent video as always. Hope you make a speedy recovery!❤️

I'll be visiting Enceladus in my dreams tonight 💜🧘‍♀️🌌❄

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Let us know what you find.

[@dookiebutt616]

He's right those pictures are stunning and also amazing as hell imagine walking on the surface, would it sound like the crunch we hear when we walk through snow if there was an atmosphere for sound to travel through, would it be like walking on baby powder, or it would be hard as granite and seem like the rocky mountains all over our world? Anyways maybe they need to rename it Hoth or Hoth system! There's a movie reference for ya, not hard to know which one

[@kylepeek5069]

I've learned about this moon in high school, and ever since I have been very interested with this moon and being that it could have life in its ocean and could possibly be another home for us humans with its ocean and warmth of its geysers not to mention it also has an atmosphere of atomic oxygen (not breathable ) and it has an ozone layer therefore its not affect by radiation.

[@australien6611]

No human will ever live there

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Try another moon. This one is a human killer.

[@kylepeek5069]

@@SpaceCadet4Jesus we dont have the technology to get there I'm just saying it's possible we could collonise enceladus just like how we have plans for colonising Mars

There are 3 reasons why Saturn is my favorite planet It's rings, titan and enceladus.

Best channel on KZbin. Very interesting, educational. Subscribed.

His videos keep me coming back, amazing content like always.

[@Firebrand55]

This venting must have been going on since Enceladus was formed...which means that since then it has been losing mass.....but exactly how much, I ask in wonderment?

[@Vincent_xYx]

Your channel has become my personal official space news update. Thank you for this great content!

[@brucethompson7214]

Fascinating how it has created its own ring. Tidal forces helped create life on earth. I hope the same thing has happened there and probes soon find evidence of life. Life in two places in our solar system would show us it is highly likely the universe is teeming with life.

[@rouuuk]

I love this video. It feels unique. And like the story build up

[@Rob_Dekker]

What an enjoyable video. I learned a lot from it. Thanks for uploading 👍🏻

[@azarothshadowsoul]

Seems like Saturn has the most interesting lineup of moons, which is fascinating for such an interesting planet itself ♥️🪐

[@majinvegeta9280]

I always get Enceladus and Europa mixed up. Not their locations, but what's been explored on each moon. For instance, I was thinking they flew through the geyser at Europa, but your Europa video said they are not sure if it was a geyser in the image

[@naveenraj2008eee]

Hi Awesome and informatove video about enceladus. Thanks.

Interesting! It’s like icy techtonic plates gushing material like volcanos. I had never seen the spray of material that surrounds the moon. At least it’s all staying within the gravitational pull of Saturn.

[@jayforerunner965]

Forget Titan….Enceladus is the most intriguing moon of Saturn

[@rais1953]

Perhaps. But it's very likely that under that Earthlike surface Titan too has an ocean. If so, unlike Enceledus where there is little gravity and no atmosphere, Titan could be a place where research bases could be set up without needing pressurised suits or radiation protection. All you'd need is heating and oxygen.

[@darkfox2076]

Amazing visuals and great presentation. Must be a V101 space video. Thanks for the great content really interesting

Can you imagine seeing those plumes?

[@johnpatrickoldfield4262]

Does the earth telescopes and satalight telescopes get nice photography imagery?

[@rickmenasian6774]

How much mass can Enceladus eject? Shouldn't it be shrinking?

[@luthermcgee3767]

How can enceladus that can be confined to an area the size of UK be shaped into a perfect ball?

[@maundamartin59]

Each crack is 80 miles long . Wow.

[@Dra741]

The tiger stripes show us cryogenic, activity on Enceladus, edit also shows us a plume of water vapor that has organic compounds in it, I'll cry row is 283 degrees below zero fahrenheit, get the tly physical activity from it says that it's 68 degrees Fahrenheit that's how powerful what we're seeing on this planet is and when the Orbiter went through the plume it was able to detect ammonia and other minerals that are necessary and we only thought these things were created on Earth oh, what a treat for the Cassini orbiter

[@siamakalaei1148]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JenniferA886]

👍👍👍

[@nuirueu]

Fascinating moon!. But i can't help wondering how such a small moon can continually produce enough material to create a ring around saturn, for potentially biliions of years?. Also, if there was life in it's ocean, why has none of it been detected in the ejected material?.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

First reason, because "if" there's life in its ocean, isn't true, which humanity will eventually find out.

[@dh7192]

When we land on it, I wonder who gets the job of shoveling a trail to explore it.🥶

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

Which of the outer planets ice moons will land in the new Goldilocks zone when our Sun turns into a red giant? I still have hope that mankind will survive to see it. Of course, where I come from crazy is a compliment. ;-P
