saturn039s mysterious moons
Bookmarked 731 weeks ago
watch in high-resolution 1080p launched three years before the new century a spacecraft wound its way through the empty reaches of the solar system on earth its progress was little noted as it swung twice by the planet venus then our moon and earth the asteroid belt and jupiteralmost seven years later on the first of july 2004 the cassini probe entered the orbit of saturn it then began to compile what has become one of the greatest photographic collections of all time of a giant gas planet surrounded by colorful rings guarded by a diverse collection of moons and millions of tiny moonlets within this record is a trail of clues pointing to the energy sources and complex chemistry needed to spawn life what are these mysterious worlds telling us about the universe and earth in the outer reaches of the solar system a billion and a half kilometers from the sun there is a little world known as enceladus nearly all of the sunlight that strikes its icy surface is reflected back into space making it one of the brightest objects in the solar systemat its equator the average temperature is minus 198 degrees celsius it can rise about 70 degrees higher in grooves that stretch across the south pole like tiger stripes looming over it is the giant planet saturnin myth saturn - the roman name for the primal greek god chronos - was the youngest son of gaia or earth and uranus sky wielding a scythe provided by his mother the story goes saturn confronted his abusive father castrating him the blood of uranus flowed into the seas fertilizing the earth and giving rise to enceladus and other giant offspring saturn039s moon enceladus has its own tangled story in 2005 the cassini spacecraft spotted plumes of water vapor shooting out into space from its south pole more recent close encounters have revealed jets of water flavored by slightly salty chemical compounds spewing out from vents in the rough cracked polar terrain that may mean that enceladus harbors a remarkable secret below its frigid surface: a liquid ocean and perhaps a chemical environment that could spawn simple life forms it039s not the only promising stop in the realm of saturn the moon titan is often said to resemble earth in its early days it is lined with volcanoes and a hazy atmosphere rich in organic compounds while enceladus is the size of great britain titan is ten times larger 50 larger than our moon and the second largest moon in our solar systemwe039ve known about titan since the astronomer christian huygens discovered it in 1655 and enceladus since william herschel spotted it in august 1789 just after the start of the french revolution scientists began to investigate these moons in earnest with the launch of the two voyager spacecraft in 1977 the lineup of outer planets in the solar system allowed the spacecraft to fly past each of themthey disclosed new details about their magnetic fields atmospheres ring systems and inner cores but what really turned heads were the varied shapes and surfaces of their moons they039ve all been pummeled over the millennia by wayward asteroids and comets a few appear to be sculpted by forces below their surfaces neptune039s largest moon triton has few craters it039s marked with circular depressions bounded by rugged ridges there are also grooves and folds that stretch for dozens of miles a sign of fracturing and deforming triton has geysers too shooting some five miles above the surface but on this frigid moon -- so far from the sun -- the liquid that spouts is not water but nitrogen tiny miranda one of 27 known moons that orbit uranus wears a jumbled skin that039s been shaped and reshaped by forces within jupiter039s moon io -- orbiting perilously close to the giant planet is literally turning itself inside out rivers of lava roll down from open craters that erupt like fountains flying by europa voyager documented a complex network of criss-crossing grooves and ridges in the 1990s the galileo spacecraft went back to get a closer look it found that europa039s surface is a crazy quilt of fractured plates cliff faces and gullies amid long grooves like a network of superhighways how did it get like this then heat rising up through a subsurface ocean of liquid water cracks and shifts and spreads the icy surface in a thousand different ways europa039s neighbors callisto and ganymede show similar features suggesting they too may have liquid oceans below their surfaces crossing outward to saturn voyager found a similar surface on the moon enceladus so when the cassini spacecraft arrived in 2004 it came looking for answers to a range of burning questions: if this moon and others have subsurface oceans do they also have the ability to cook up and support life and what could they tell us about the origin of life throughout the galaxy
