... could be the first tantalising signs of hydrothermal activity beyond Earth. To get a better look at the moon’s famous plumes, earlier in October, Cassini made a daring flight 30 miles (48 kilometers) above Enceladus' south pole to obtain the most...

... agency develops it, it will be the first of a kind," said Blagojevic. It is envisaged that BILI will scan for dust plumes while attached to a rover’s mast, and once detected the instrument would fire its lasers into the...
... this case, our findings suggest that that methanol is being created by further chemical reactions once the plume is ejected into space, making it unlikely it is an indication for life on Enceladus,” said Dr Emily Drabek-Maunder of Cardiff University...
