Long features dubbed tiger stripes are known to be spewing ice from the moon&#8217;s icy interior into space, creating a cloud of fine ice particles over the moon&#8217;s South Pole and creating Saturn&#8217;s mysterious E-ring. Evidence for this has come from the robot Cassini spacecraft that orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017. Pictured here, a high resolution image of Enceladus is shown from a close flyby. The unusual surface features dubbed tiger stripes are visible in false-color blue. Why Enceladus is active remains a mystery, as the neighboring moon Mimas, approximately the same size, appears quite dead. An analysis of ejected ice grains has yielded evidence that complex organic molecules exist inside Enceladus. These large carbon-rich molecules bolster &#8212; but do not prove &#8212; that oceans under Enceladus&#8217; surface could contain life. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap240825.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do underground oceans vent through canyons on Saturn&#8217;s moon Enceladus?
