    Cassini data sheds light on Saturn formation and Enceladus habitability

    by Chris Gebhardt October 14, 2020
    written by Chris Gebhardt

    While its mission ended just over three years ago, data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft continues to help scientists unlock the mysteries of the Saturnian system that contains more than 80 identified moons. 

    In particular, new and updated research has helped determine the drift rate of Titan away from Saturn, in turn leading to a better understanding of how the ringed planet system formed, while a completely different set of analyses revealed the surface ages of Enceladus and provided key insights into the moon’s potential to harbor life.
