How Enceladus Shocked NASA Scientists | Our Solar System's Moons

[@TheAdditionalPylons]

The fact that cryovolcanoes on Enceladus are creating one of Saturn's rings is one of the coolest things I've ever learned.

[@yakarotsennin3115]

If you think that's cool, then I'm about to blow your mind. Where the rings are positioned over the equator of Saturn, it rains from the rings down onto Saturn. Yep you heard me, liquid water / water ice rain.

[@erintaylor4297]

Yup..how much of its mass is now in the ring? Does its gravity recapture it as it goes around Saturn?? Wow

Cassini truly was a revolutionary mission when it comes to outer solar system exploration. Not only did we land a probe on an object 1,500,000,000km away, but explored Saturn and its moons in phenomenal detail. We seriously need another mission to Saturn, but this time we can focus a lot more on the moons.

[@semaj_5022]

I absolutely adore this channel man. Every episode is so good. So carefully and thoroughly produced and your narration is on point. Also Enceladus is by far one of my top 3 favorite solar system moons. I hope we can get a probe there in my lifetime.

Unfortunately, some moons are undifferentiated so they're the same all the way through (save for where the surface has been altered due to exposure to the sun and meteorites).

[@FloozieOne]

Imagine, a moon that makes a ring. Incredible and even more incredible that we can detect it. I never realized how small Enceladus is, it is hard to remember that moons come in all sizes since you rarely see them side-by-side. You did a great job of explaining that both by pictures and by narration, so thanks for that. It is disheartening to think that I will probably never learn what secrets Enceladus is hiding. With the next mission not likely for 20 years and now 68 y/o and in poor health I won't live that long, but there are plenty of other missions and places to explore that I will be eagerly looking forward to learning about.

Could encelodus be a representation for what earth was when it was a snowball. Also could it be a possibility for a future home when the sun decides to change and becomes enlarged?

[@Fannystark007]

Drinking Game: One shot for every time he says EncelAdus.

[@alexeikafe5388]

I believe it is not a representation of what Earth was like when it was a snowball, as it had atmosphere and the thickness of snow was much less than the ice thickness on enceladus.

[@alexeikafe5388]

Could it be a potential home when the Sun becomes enlarged? Considering that that is so far away, if humanity is still around I am pretty sure we'll have already reached other stars, so we will have found better places surely. That said, probably humanity would be able to live there, despite somewhere like Titan seems nicer due to the atmosphere, as, despite it is unbreathable, it makes living there easier

With far away I meant the enlargement of the sun in terms of time
