Today is a big day for this little moon! The Cassini Space Probe is set to do a fly through the southern ice plumes of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Cassini will speed past the southern pole of Enceladus at an altitude of 3,106 miles. The goal of this mission is to measure the heat coming through the ice which will help scientists understand the geological activity under the icy surface and whether Enceladus would be a possible candidate for biological life! #Saturn #moon #enceladus #NASA #ISS #flyby #probe #space #explore #science #icy #beyondourworld by beyond_our_world
