Liquid water on Enceladus

[popeyespappy]

Add another moon to the list of objects in solar system that could have liquid water.

An ocean at least as large as Lake Superior lies below a thick layer of ice on a moon of Saturn, new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests.

The results, published in the journal Science, support earlier signs that this small moon has liquid water. That means Saturn's sixth-largest moon could have been -- or could now be -- hospitable to life.

Nessie probably lives there.

I thought all water was liquid. Duh...

It is. Except when it's a solid. Or a gas. Or in my bladder.

What a great find. Really blows old VenomFangX's "the Earth is the only place in the Universe with water" canard out of the sky, doesn't it?

Trivia time: I have my signature encoded on a CD-ROM aboard the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, courtesy of the JPL. Long after I'm gone, my name will still be out there (all else being equal) being used by aliens to claim Social Security.

I want a planet with a lake of liquid brandy!

[Cyberman]

Vodka for me!
