Houston, USA - NASA confirms liquid lake on Saturn moon  

Frozen iceball or hidden ocean? NASA's Cassini spacecraft has renewed debate among planetary scientists over Saturn's geyser-spewing mystery moon, Enceladus.  

The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired on Aug. 12 from the Deep Space Network tracking complex at Goldstone, Calif. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and all subsystems are operating normally.  

The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired on Aug. 5 from the DSN tracking complex at Madrid, Spain. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and all subsystems are operating normally.  

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has stumped planetary scientists. Saturn's moon unveils possible icequakes that grind its frozen crust. Enceladus is known as Saturn's geyser-spewing mystery moon.  

In a feat of interplanetary sharpshooting, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has pinpointed precisely where the icy jets erupt from the surface of Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus.  

The vents from which icy geysers erupt on Enceladus are revealed in new images – the vents' position changes over time  

In a feat of interplanetary sharpshooting, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has pinpointed precisely where the icy jets erupt from the surface of Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus. New carefully targeted pictures reveal exquisite details in the prominent south polar "tiger stripe" fractures...  

Shortly after 9:03 p.m. PDT, the Cassini spacecraft began sending data to Earth following a close flyby of Saturn's moon Enceladus. During closest approach, Cassini successfully passed only 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the surface of the tiny moon.  

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 11, 2008, a distance of approximately 2,621 kilometers (1,629 miles) above the surface of Enceladus. Image scale is approximately 20 meters (66 feet) per pixel.

The exact location of jets on Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus have been found -- a discovery scientists are calling a "mother lode." NASA's Cassini flyby mission released new photos this week of icy jets erupting from the surface. The green areas... are believed to represent deposits...
