On 16 June 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Enceladus (moon). The result of the discussion was not moved.

Cassini flyby of plume

The data gathered by Cassini in her final flybys in October (E21) and December 2015 (E22) are expected to yield some clues regarding the chemistry of the moon's ocean and prospects for some form of biochemistry. The data may not be published until December 2016, it seems....

Cassini did a final flyby of Enceladus in late October that targeted the chemistry of the plumes directly. The INMS team, which includes Glein, is searching for molecular hydrogen in that plume, which would be chemical evidence of active serpentinization. An absence of molecular hydrogen would be a sign that the serpentinization is extinct. The data analysis from this flyby may be completed in time for the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting in December. Glein added that the planned NASA mission to Europa includes advanced descendants of both the CDA and INMS instruments, meaning that in a decade or two, scientists can start to make these same measurements at Europa. This will allow us to better understand the importance of serpentinization across the Solar System.

Huge "plume"

The media (or at least my Bing homepage) is reporting that a huge plume is coming out of Enceladus. I doubt this is reliable information (source: it reports that these are "signs of alien life", despite Misplaced Pages telling them that these are normal for Enceladus) but maybe this is worthy of inclusion? 104.187.66.104 (talk) 22:39, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Coverage seems to be specific to the James Webb Space Telescope's new findings about something that is already known, e.g. . It would be covered at Enceladus#South polar plumes if it is suitable for inclusion. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 23:08, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
