A “global” ocean of water, thought to be a key
ingredient for life, sloshes around under the icy crust of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, according to NASA.
Scientists have long believed there might be water on Saturn’s sixth largest moon, but that it was likely in the form of a “lens-shaped body of water, or sea, underlying the moon's south polar region.”
Evidence of this has been spotted by the Cassini spacecraft in the form of geyser-like sprays of water vapor coming from the south pole area.
Using seven years of imagery collected by Cassini, scientists found the moon has a slight wobble as it moves around Saturn.
