I was an astronomy major 10 years ago, and we barely talked about Enceladus. At the time it was Europa, Europa, Europa ... This is a very exciting little dude!
I LOVE Science! I live for it, and I always have! Enceladus is a beautiful, chaotic world! It is definitely an interesting and mysterious moon. I would love if NASA could fly a probe to every moon, that way we can map, see, and discover even more of our own Solar System, and the fact that there are billions of galaxies: Just imagine how many planets there are! SO MANY! What really gives me such a rush of beauty and mystery, is the thought of ME standing on unknown, untouched worlds!
thanks for uploading, I like finding out that moons are geologically active. It makes me think we aren't the only place in the solar system with potential of life.
the universe is so huge, and so interesting. Some people don't realise how small we are. Theres about 6billion people, and theres about a zillion planets, maybe even more. So why do we care so much if ONE of us dies.
Awesome! Enceladus is an awesome moon! I hope they will send a probe there someday! That would be awesome! I would love to find out more and more, esp. all of the moons! So many of them are so unique and different than others! These worlds are truly beautiful and tremendous places! I love astronomy! 5/5!

I pray that there are living organisms on one of these moons. I hope NASA collects samples of these organisms. Then I hope that one of the scientists accidentally let some organism escape.
I'm must hoping that one of these martian organism will destroy humans and end the life of earth..
Please keep discovering NASA.. the end of mankind depends on you...
What do you have against humanity? Without us, the Earth does not have a conscience. This is the age where we learn from the past and protect the Earth, rather than destroy it. Humans can colonise and terraform other worlds, therefore spreading life and aiding nature's work (or God's work, if you wish to believe). We are the pride of Earth
haha you idiot you know clearly nothing about what youre saying if there would be alien life it wont be like a weird monster like in science fiction movies it would be as much harmfull as any other kind of animal on earth
Why do we insist on dangerous maned missions!? We should be sending probes to Enceladus and Titan and Europa! Too bad the american public (and politicians) are 90% morons who wouldn't even recognize the name "Enceladus."
how fascinating. now, even if there are chemicals in the water which are poisonous for life on earth, it is still possible that they are perfect for life on Enceladus or Titan. we should not presuppose that life can exist only under earth-like conditions. theoretically, it can occur, too, under very different atmospheric, temperature and geologic conditions.
on earth, too, there are bacteria living in high-pressure areas of the oceans, or in geysers with temperatures up to 120 °C.
I wouldn't be surprised a bit, probibly most of the bodies in the solar system have water in some form. The problem is, is their anything piosonous mixed in with the water and that almost all known life needs more than just water to survive. Yes Saturn probibly has more than 40 moons and for all we know, it may have alot more.
@frozensnakee What's the part of the clip which is an opinion people may or may not agree with? They're talking about a moon, what are you disagreeing with? Do you disagree with ice, water, walkable surfaces, gravity? If I were a gambler (and I'm not) I'll say you didn't like the word "life". Just because somebody says the word "life" you don't have to discard the entire clip, do you? Maybe you do, do what you like. I don't even care anymore, I left my wallet on Ganimede...
@Zaltor2 seeing as i wrote that comment over a year ago i too was curious as to what i was disagreeing about at that time. re-watched the video and found no fault in it so i decided to go back a few pages in the comment section to see if maybe my original comment was meant to be a reply. indeed it was and i am afraid that neater comment have too much to do with the facts stated in the video. but i commend you for your reputable defense of astronomy and the questions of life that it has created.
@frozensnakee Whoops, my bad. Sorry I should've checked, now I see yours was a reply about something else. It's just I can't understand how's possible that people's mind don't just get blown away by seeing how we're sending probes to moons so far away and how these are anything but dead worlds. Enceladus, so active and dynamic, a true world out there! We can't travel faster than the speed of light, but we'got plenty of moons here in our backyard waiting to be explored.
since Enceladus has an elliptical orbit around saturn, saturns gravity rips the planet and causes those grooves, just like an earthquake on earth, the surface of Enceladus actually shifts, causing massive amounts of energy between the surface tectonic plates
Living here sucks.

its like that in all countries (for example Poland), most people dont know that there are other moons in our solar system.

a world is a general term for a spherical celestial body. so yes, it is. its more slang than scientific, but it can still be refered to as a world.
