Saturn’s Moon Enceladus

In 2015, the unmanned spacecraft Cassini captured one of the most intriguing images of Saturn’s mysterious moon, Enceladus.
DCODE the secrets behind this tiny ball of ice that could contain the ingredients necessary for life, in this fascinating 2016 series - Space’s Deepest Secrets.

I have lost all interest in learning new things and studying new stuffs. Today, I have a flashback. I was a curious young kid and I used to watch the skies though telescope, study organism through microscope and s lot of science stuffs. I was privileged to have a lot of resources and a mentor in a village where there isn't electricity at that time. I feel nostalgic thinking about those memories so I check KZbin for videos about science stuff and I came across this video. It's like an epiphany. Enceladus, you're my favourite moon. It's quite sad to imagine what I could have become if I didn't ruin my life. This video about Enceladus brings back that enthusiasm I had as a kid, I have been solely existing for the sake of existing with no feelings and passion for so long. Thanks, NASA for bringing me atleast some excitement and happiness and some hope for even few minutes. It just burns me to see these people, I could've been one of those guys. I had so much potential and resources and I screwed it all up

I hope that in the last 2 years since you commented that your living has become easier, I too have felt exactly like you have and have struggled with addiction and depression so I can partly relate. It's never too late but the most important thing is to realize that there is always a new day. The most fulfilment I've received in life is not from my accomplishments but from bringing happiness into other people's lives and living to make a lasting positive impression just like your mentor you mentioned. Live for others, when you give you begin to live.

[@gilberto8782]

Bro, I’m on the same page as you. Only difference is, I never had many options, and I have always made bad choices. I have always gone against the grain, and had certain beliefs since I was 4 or 5 years old. I don’t blame nobody, but I do learn from my mistakes. I don’t know what u did to make you think your life is ruined, but believe me, it’s not. My grandmother always says that the only thing that cannot be resolved, is death. As long as you’re alive, you have a chance to redeem yourself. Don’t get down, guy. Keep on fighting.

[@stevencoardvenice]

@ritemoelaw_books83 no europa is still the big ticket item in the solar system. Europa is much larger, and has a global ocean that has had 4 billion years to evolve life. Enceladus is remarkable because it is so tiny, and so distant from the sun. Its only 300 miles wide. Yet it still has plumes of water. Nobody expected that until the Cassini mission in 2006

i found out about Enceladus via a game I play on steam, called Cells To Singularity. I originally was unimpressed with the planetary stuff that they added recently.... But since then I have found myself so much more curious about various aspects of planets and the moons around those planets that i can find no fault in that added content.. What once seemed like a slapdash add on to get more interaction has grown to a well researched option that leads me to find videos like this one. This was the first 'hit' when I googled the name of the moon Enceladus, and I'm better for having seen it. While I will no doubt spend a great amount of time watching other videos on this channel, I believe that credit is due to say that game brought me here and I intend to be a continuing viewer. Thank you. Of all the videos I landed on, I am so impressed by this one. The way information is presented, the fact that it exists at all... Let's just say I'll be binge watching more of this channel in the upcoming days.

[@richardcaruso7727]

At Mark 13:30 in the video, she states: the probe sensed the moon's water salinity (Enceladus's ocean water) comparable to that of Earth's water salinity. The ramifications of that discovery, alone, are huge. Let's look at just 2 ramifications. 1. The odds of any part of our own solar system having a ratio of the same salinity as our Earth Oceans is, well, just mind boggeling. 2. That the salinity ration is at least similar to that of Earth's oceans means a greater chance that not only micro life is likely under Enceladus's icy crust but also a likely hood of similar fish such as Kril, or even shrimp, or even other small fish like sardiens is likely to easily be photographed in those waters of similar salanity of Enceladus! Now that would be exciting to see and in these days of virus woes we all need some uplifting discovery like that boost our overall mood. For this reason, alone, I'm quite sure NASA and private explorers like SPACE X are going to send more probes to these truly blessed moons of Earth like water. In addition it would be no problem dealing with the cold by having heat pumps remove heat from the warm Enceladus ocean and pumping that heat into an above ground shelter to keep astronauts warm in an Enceladus moon base!

In Saturn's rings there is supposedly little rocks that are like engines and they create waves in Saturn's rings. The rocks in Saturn's rings can also run into each other and create walls of those tiny particles millions of miles high. Another fact is that Cassini saw the rings were smaller, meaning Saturn's rings are younger than scientists expected.

This is great. I appreciate it, and applaud the exploratory quest. I myself have considerable astronomical interests. However, we should not forget. There is indeed a planet that definitely sustains life without any doubt. It is the only known celestial body in this vast universe that is indeed habitable and supports and has life for sure. It has been named too. It is called Earth. What are we doing to it (environment, ecology), and to all the life (human and other) that it sustains? To all life that calls it home. Let us prove that we indeed qualify to become a life form worthy of occupying other heavenly bodies.

we were told,to bugger off,from the moon,why else have we not,,been back..recordings at pine gap au..my bro has pics of tracks & huge machines,on the moon,,not ours..they drive from one crater to the next then dissapear in the crater...why are some craters on the moon hexagon shaped,& all,the same depth..BECAUSE IT AINT REAL.read sumerian tablets,,,,to me,it seems,they found earth,did a reki,,then had to staybalise its orbit,so they gave us the moon,then,they invaded,& mined the shit out of earth for minerals.south africa,mines there are not from our digging,,gold/mercury,mainly,,then had to leave in a hurry,this is why a lot of ancient buildings are unfinished & in ruins.from what ever hit us,flood,solar flare,ect..took there tools & hav,nt really been back in force,,except,when we let off the first atom bombs..hindu text,tells of a nuke war,for posesion of earth..also watch praveen mohan..cambodia,india,.

The plumes extend two hundred miles above the surface then freeze and come back as a snow ice on the surface of the South Pole

yes the water ice is at low pressure , almost a vacuum & this cycle keeps the under ice water liquid under the ice blanket & no they are not plasma ,

I am much different than others in my family. I Love Science. Saturn is my favorite planet. One year, my son had something at his school in the winter time. A guy had telescope and he had Saturn Visible. so I took a look, and was so extremely happy!!!

When he said "miles" it triggered me hard.

Sednas 30 miles

@@jasonwaters9370 he said 300 and something miles wide.

[@gunny_zky]

Sednas - why does “it trigger you hard”? Try to understand the evolution of measurement throughout mankind. Understand where the technology used comes from. Understand that all measurements can be converted to one in which you understand. If you thought about it and used mathematics, you might not be “triggered”. Tear down walls, don’t build them.

This is a great video! Exploring our solar system & beyond is what the human species is all about! Planet Earth is great, but why would we want to remain on this speck of dust in the cosmos forever!

Its funny to see that they are realizing very well that they are in the entertainment business. And the keyword has become we did not expect that and there might be life.

“Scientists are trained not to jump to conclusions” yet they assume life can only exist in the “goldy locks zone”.

[@solidus4prez]

No they don't

[@Handlesplus]

No they don’t. It’s a fact. There are temperature and chemical limitations on life that can reproduce.

[@mmarinog]

Incorrect. When you are looking for something based on an example, you tend to look for it in “similar situations”. We look for life “as we know it” in the godly locks zone because that is the environment where we’ve found our only known example of life. Scientists have also acknowledged there are other possibilities (like extremophiles) that may exist outside of what we consider “the norm”. No one assumes life “can only exist” in the godly locks zone. However, the universe is pretty big...so we’ve got to start somewhere.

[@thundercactus]

It's not an assumption, it's a reasonable estimate based on what we actually know about biology. And as a matter of fact, the idea of where life can exist has been expanded many times.

[@j7522]

Ive never heard a scientist say life can only form in the gold locks zone. They assume thats where they’ll find life, considering we are living beings alive and thriving in our gold locks zone.
