Enceladus
Definition(s)
- Enceladus is the sixth largest moon of Saturn, discovered by William Herschel on 28 August 1789. It is also known as Saturn II. Enceladus has attracted much interest recently because of the icy plumes that have been seen erupting from cracks near the moon's south pole. These emanations hint at the existence of a body of water just below the surface, which in turn encourages speculation about the possibility of life. Enceladus is one of only three worlds in the Solar System in which active eruptions have been observed (the others being Io and Triton).
