Enceladus, a tiny Saturnian moon only about 500 kilometres wide, is actively venting water vapour and ice grains into space from a salty ocean hidden beneath its crust — and modelling suggests that ocean may have remained warm and chemically active for geological timescales, perhaps long enough for life to have had a chance to emerge.
Enceladus is small, only about 500 kilometres across, a moon you could lose among Saturn’s dozens. It is…
In late 2023, Voyager 1 began sending unreadable data from interstellar space. NASA engineers eventually traced the fault to corrupted memory in one of the probe’s computers, rewrote part of its 46-year-old software, transmitted the fix across more than 24 billion kilometres, and waited roughly 45 hours for confirmation that the patch had worked.
In late 2023, Voyager 1 stopped making sense. The spacecraft was still transmitting from interstellar space, but the…
