The Sun has exposed jets of water vapor and ice expels ‘Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. In an image captured by the Cassini spacecraft image you can see how a group of ‘geysers’ tower over the south pole of the satellite . This photograph has allowed scientists to better study this phenomenon.

So, according to NASA, this image has been analyzed regional heat maps , which will know the origin of these plumes, which is a mystery since they were first seen in 2005 .

One of the main hypothesis is that come from a deep sea , fueling expectations of the experts that this moon is able to support life. However, there are other possibilities, as it is only ice covering the surface , which has melted and is driven by the deep divisions that have Enceladus due to heat.

Thanks to the angle of the sun, l image is able to capture in the foreground while Enceladus plume rise rows of ice fractures
