Ongoing hydrothermal activities within Enceladus

TL;DR: Analysis of silicon-rich, nanometre-sized dust particles (so-called stream particles) that stand out from the water-ice-dominated objects characteristic of Saturn indicate ongoing high-temperature (>90 °C) hydrothermal reactions associated with global-scale geothermal activity that quickly transports hydroThermal products from the ocean floor at a depth of at least 40 kilometres up to the plume of Enceladus.
Journal ArticleDOI

- 23 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the GIADA (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator) experiment on the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was used to detect 35 outflowing grains of mass 10−10 to 10−7 kilograms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interplanetary coronal mass ejection observed at STEREO-A, Mars, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Saturn, and New Horizons en route to Pluto: Comparison of its Forbush decreases at 1.4, 3.1, and 9.9 AU

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss observations of the journey throughout the Solar System of a large interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that was ejected at the Sun on 14 October 2014.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Rosetta mission orbiter science overview: the comet phase.

TL;DR: The international Rosetta mission was launched in 2004 and consists of the orbiter spacecraft Rosetta and the lander Philae as discussed by the authors, which performed in situ science on the comet's surface.
