Enceladus and its Plumes of Water
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
Fourteen years ago, astronomers studying Saturn via ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory discovered a mysterious supply of gaseous water in Saturn’s upper atmosphere. Now, ESA’s Herschel observatory has figured out exactly where that water is coming from: Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which spews water onto its host planet via huge water jets emanating from its southern polar region.
That makes Enceladus the only moon in our solar system to actively influence the chemistry of its parent planet, defining a new kind of relationship between host planet and satellite.

After all, the slight amount of water vapor that makes it into Saturn’s upper atmosphere spawns other oxygen-bearing compounds like carbon dioxide. Could a volcanically active moon potentially seed a previously inhabitable rocky parent planet with the proper ingredients for life? It’s fun to think about, anyhow.

The space ship " Enceladus " fired its ionic engines and prepared for space travel!
Popular Science's editors really need to step up to the plate here. The corrections in this article are just typos, but this is the third article in as many days that have been incorrect. The last sentence SHOULD read "Could a volcanically active moon potentially seed a previously [un]inhabitable rocky parent planet with the proper ingredients for life? It’s fun to think about, anyhow."

The space ship " Enceladus " fired its ionic engines and prepared for space travel! Vibrations begin to break off the false rock disguise and reveal its true identity. All of humanity will come to know soon of its real purpose and it begins it route toward earth. Since the ship is incredible ancient and the ionic engines are poorly charge, it will take a year for it to reach earth, 2012. It seems there is some writing on the side of the Enceladus space ship. It seems Mayan in design and nature.
What may be equally or more amazing about Enceladus is it is slowly changing its orbit around Saturn by projecting the water vapor towards one location, like an ion drive slowly changes the orbit in a spiral shape around earth to escape earth's gravitational field. Note water exposed to a vacuum boils away to a vapor extremely fast and becomes very explosive.
It would be interesting if orbital observations were taken of Enceladus since it was discovered by William Herschel back in 1789 so as to verify my hypothesis on it slowly spiraling away or towards Saturn from the constant explosive power of its water jets.

@rib2, Your really brave there 'Ron Bennett' to put you name on the interent. God Bless you! I hope the evil ones do not find you and pounce. It seems today sphincters are rather tight and puckered up! But I do have to say, I like you thoughts; of course me saying that will only cause you trouble too, lol.
"The space ship " Enceladus " fired its ionic engines and prepared for space travel!" BubbaGump good call my sentiments exactly. I guess it is more obvious than I thought about the comparison to ion drives...
Ron Bennett
Suddenly a laser beam is coming from Saturn and beaming towards the space ship Enceladus. Incrediable, the ionic engines seem to be much more powerful now. There is definetly some time of communication going on between Saturn and Enceladus.

1. Life lives on earth and this is obvious, in all corners.
*2. Life lives in the entire universe and in all corners.
3. Life is varies on earth.
* 4. Life is varies throughout the universe and beyond.
5. People exist with good and evil. It is natural and often.
* Intelligent life exists in the universe, good and evil.
6. Humans are just an ant in a universe that is so big, beyond really our understanding.
7. Belief in our dear Lord and the Trinity and the heart of its understanding is our hope and future, but be it
It known, there is much more in the universe beyond this.
** Both exist and knowing their existence is absolute.
** Our existence will end in one of these paths.
So, basically it's a ball of floating, er, water? How is that possible in a location like Saturn's where every fluid can just as easily freeze.

Yes, I did begin to digress a little in my comments. I forgot to wear my tin foil to keep the space aliens out of my head. Stuff happens. lol.
@cyclopsdazzler
There is water beneath the icy crust of Enceladus (pretty much in the liquid form closer to the core where things are pretty warm for all celestial bodies in the universe, save astroids). The liquid water can be shot to the surface in liquid form where the rapidly decreasing temperatures will eventually cause the water to freeze into solid pieces that fall back to the surface, or sublime into vapor that escapes into space.
There's water out in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud left over from the birth of our star. There's water on Mars. There's water on the moon. Water is in many places in the vastness, yet cosmically simple size of our solar system.
really bubbanuts, 10 out of 14 comments, i would understand your shotgun postings if you were a cripple and was stuck in front of a computer all day, is this the case or are you just a pitiful creature who craves attention from even anonymous people because you get none at home? STFU already...@SolusCado, you too, stop your editing, we know how smart you are, this is not a magazine going to print, these are short synapses of articles from the printed mag, quit bitchin'
@drchuck1, Dear Chuck, Your sphincter must really tight good buddy. You seem like you dancing around the room and pulling you hair out. Your excrement is topping off at the top and you brain is all filled with toxins and parasites. Are you ok? You need to see a Doc really soon!! I hope you feel better real soon. Maybe Metamucil will help. I really do not think you played well in the sandbox with others as a child; did you.
I think BubbaGump is one of those guys to blame for why the Mexican drug cartels have so much money.
Stop feeding the trolls please.....
@Peter10, To yours and my regret, I have never used drugs all my life. So there is with no good explanation of me and my thoughts or comments. I have no plans of changing myself anytime soon. I must tolerate you comments, at the very least ignore mine. So, just get over it! Smile, the aliens know what you’re thinking! lol
I'm impressed. You're truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. I'm saving this for future use. Enceladus is definitely new in my mind but so far it is interesting...Check on this http://investment.altlanticinternationalpartnership.net/
Well, resolving such issues is important because of many reasons

I wonder how you got so good. HaHa! This is really a fascinating blog, lots of stuff that I can get into. One thing I just want to say is that your design is so perfect! http://investment.altlanticinternationalpartnership.net/
Well, this post is quite good!Thanks for updating my information about the subject.it very useful for me.

what how come our moon have no water but sature moon have water now the is weird
