The subsurface oceans of the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter remain our best bet for finding life elsewhere in the solar system. NASA is developing a roadmap for cryobots that could investigate these ocean worlds.
Researchers are interested in features called strike-slip faults on these moons because they can facilitate the exchange of surface and subsurface materials, potentially creating environments conducive for life
Researchers searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life are investigating the geological faults of Saturn’s largest icy moon, Titan, and Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede.
Saturn's rings may have formed from a collision between two icy moons millions of years ago, according to supercomputer simulations by NASA. This discovery provides new insights into the Saturn system and poses questions about potential life on its moons. On a clear night, with a decent amateur t
