The Cassini probe, which has been orbiting Saturn for more than four years now, has repeatedly provided series of images of one of its more interesting moons, Enceladus, which has been appointed as its new main target during the extended Equinox Mission. While looking at the geysers depicted in the photos and analyzi... |

Enceladus, the geyser moon of Saturn, will be passed by twice this October, first on the 9th and a second time on the 31st, in an attempt to prove the hypothetical existence of an ocean hiding on its surface. The first flyby will see Cassini performing the closest such maneuver from the surface of any of Saturn&... |

A new study conducted between 1998 and 2006 indicates that the eruption patterns of geysers in the Yellowstone National Park, US are slowing down and could even stop as a result of global warming. Temperature readings performed on five of the geysers in the famous national park show that two of the best known of them... |

Islanders blamed them on the witchcraft, the Inca on the spirits of the ancestors. Geysers are a type of hot spring that erupt periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steams into the air. Their emergence needs a combination of factors (water, heat and fortuitous plumbing) that exists in only a few places on ... |

In March 1, 1872, the Congress of the United States created the first National Park in the world, which later became the symbol of nature protection in North America and all over the world.

A geyser is a type of hot spring that erupts periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steam into the air. Their emergence needs a combination of factors (water, heat and fortuitous plumbing) that exists in only a few places on Earth, and so they are fairly rare phenomena. There are about 1,000 worldwide and a... |

A small leak will sink a great ship...Enceladus, one of the Saturn's small moons, is slowing down the giant planet's magnetic field so much that the field rotates at a lower pace than the planet, making it nearly impossible to determine Saturn's day length employing methods used for other giant planets... |
