Title: A closer look at Saturn's moon Written by: duddy on Oct 17, 2015 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_17_10_15_3_44_55.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=22709) NASA’s Cassini spacecraft completed the first of three final flybys of Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus. On October 14, Cassini passed within 1838 kilometers (1142 miles) of Enceladus, providing unprecedented views of the moon’s north polar region. What's more, researchers predict that is contains a global ocean lying beneath its icy crust. Researchers found the magnitude of the moon's very slight wobble, as it orbits Saturn, can only be accounted for if its outer ice shell is not frozen solid to its interior, meaning a global ocean must be present.
