Scientists have discovered a planet with massive jets of liquid water shooting into space, possibly from an underground ocean. This isn’t just about water it’s about what that water might mean: heat, energy, and potentially, the conditions for life. These geysers suggest active geology and a subsurface ocean beneath the crust just like what we’ve seen on moons like Europa and Enceladus. And where there’s liquid water and energy, there’s a chance… even a small one… that life could exist. We may b

Hidden ocean, active world, and one of the best places to search for life beyond Earth. Follow @spaceeves #Enceladus #Saturn #SpaceEve #Astrobiology | SpaceEve | Facebook

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope recently discovered a plume jetting out from the moon’s south pole more than 20 times the size of the moon itself. This animation illustrates how the moon’s water plumes feed the planet’s torus. By analyzing the Webb data, astronomers have determined roughly 30 percent of the water stays within this torus, and the other 70 percent escapes to supply the rest of the Saturnian system with water: webbtelescope.pub/3pscOo5 | Space Telescope Science Ins
