I dont understand. This moon is the size of Arizona and still active,and where that water came from?

I have an idia,lets colide enceladus with mars,and create another earth!

geysers have been photographed on Mars, it's much closer and a rover mission launching next year should land next to them if you really want your "life" final proof or if you want to keep messin' around for another 50 years...

You might be interested to know that the asteroid Apophis now is estimated to have a 1/450 chance of impacting Earth. The threat was upgraded after a 13-year-old German boy discovered a flaw in NASA's original estimate of 1/45,000.

NsaneNtheNbrane: The 13-year-old German boy story is fake. Save time by not looking it up. Basically the story went that he realized that the 2029 pass would come within geosynchronous orbit around earth and that the asteroid could hit a satellite and that would then make it hit Earth.

A) It never gets that close to earth at the equator where those satellites are.

B) The effect of the biggest satellite would be smaller than the noise in current calculations.
