Looking inside icy moons
Davis, CA (SPX) Nov 25, 2025 The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky core and could be the best places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. A new study published Nov. 24 in Nature Astronomy sheds light on what could be going on beneath the surface of t

Looking Inside Icy Moons
The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky core and could be the best places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. A new study published Nov. 24 in Nature Astronomy sheds light on what could be going on beneath the surface of these worlds and provides insights into how their di…
The thinning of the outer ice layers of the solar system's icy moons, such as Enceladus, could cause the boiling of the buried oceans below, according to new models. This thinning would cause pressure changes so that the water reaches its triple point and enters into boiling. This process could explain the wrinkles and grooves observed on the surface of these moons and could have implications for future missions in situ. The ice moons orbiting a…
