In the latest research, scientists have found that the distinctive "tiger stripes" as well as the sliding side-by-side motion of Saturn's moon Enceladus are related to jets of ice crystals which ...
The team’s study focused on Enceladus’ “tiger stripes”—long fissures mostly located in southern swaths of the moon that some thought were caused by an ancient impact event.
Saturn's moon Enceladus is known for spewing jets of water-ice into space, with new research revealing a potential mechanism behind this phenomenon. Last year, astrobiological hopes for Enceladus were ...
New research has revealed the sliding side-by-side motion along distinctive "tiger stripes" on Saturn's moon Enceladus is linked to jets of ice crystals that erupt from its icy shell. The findings ...
Over the course of its elliptical orbit, the moon Enceladus is squeezed unevenly by Saturn's gravitational pull and deforms from a spherical shape into a football shape and back again. This cyclic str ...
