(NEW YORK) — In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn’s icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon’s defining stripes and ...
In the latest research, scientists have found that the distinctive "tiger stripes" as well as the sliding side-by-side motion of Saturn's moon Enceladus are related to jets of ice crystals which ...
Over the course of its elliptical orbit, the moon Enceladus is squeezed unevenly by Saturn's gravitational pull and deforms from a spherical shape into a football shape and back again. This cyclic str ...

New research has revealed the sliding side-by-side motion along distinctive "tiger stripes" on Saturn's moon Enceladus is linked to jets of ice crystals that erupt from its icy shell. The findings ...
The team’s study focused on Enceladus’ “tiger stripes”—long fissures mostly located in southern swaths of the moon that some thought were caused by an ancient impact event.
