Geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus may not come from its underground ocean

TL;DR


Summary:

- The article discusses new research that suggests the geysers observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus may not be coming from the moon's subsurface ocean as previously thought.
- Scientists have proposed an alternative explanation that the geysers could be generated by pockets of pressurized gas trapped beneath the moon's icy surface, which are then released through cracks and fissures.
- This finding challenges the widely accepted theory that Enceladus' subsurface ocean is the source of the geysers and has implications for understanding the moon's internal structure and potential for habitability.
