“Icy Jets” Suggest Liquid Water May Be Beneath Surface
New pictures taken by the Cassini Spacecraft of Saturn’s moon Enceladus have revealed stunning new features of the moon’s surface. The images display the so-called “tiger stripes” that span the south pole, and reveal the features to be V-shaped cracks a thousand feet deep. Seen for the first time are the sources of active jets inside the features, which are hurling plumes of ice particles high into space.
