The salty composition of these jets points to an underground sea of liquid water that might interact with Enceladus' rocky core, similar to the subsurface ocean that is thought to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa. Many of Cassini's flybys of Enceladus have been dedicated to understanding the structure of the interior of this fascinating body and its potentially habitable water reservoir. Now, a study based on data collected by Cassini's RADAR system during a close flyby in November 2011 indicates that the moon's subsurface sea might be closer to the surface than previously thought…"
