Hidden Heat at Enceladus’ North Pole Bolsters Case for Life: Cassini Data Show Stable Ocean in New Study (Nov. 7, 2025)

Hidden Heat at Enceladus’ North Pole Bolsters Case for Life: Cassini Data Show Stable Ocean in New Study (Nov. 7, 2025)

A new analysis of NASA’s Cassini data finds excess heat at Enceladus’ north pole, balancing previously known heat loss in the south. The results, published Nov. 7, 2025 in Science Advances, suggest the icy moon’s global ocean has remained stable over geologic time—strengthening its habitability.

  • SGX Shares Slip as Exchange Launches 20-Year Japan Bond Futures Ahead of BOJ Meeting
    January 20, 2026, 3:14 AM EST. Shares of Singapore Exchange (SGX) fell 1.1% to S$17.42 on Tuesday following the announcement of its new 20-year mini Japanese government bond futures launching January 26. The move aims to expand SGX's Japan rates offerings ahead of the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) policy decision this week, which traders expect to increase volatility in Japanese interest rates. SGX hopes the new contract will attract volume amid competition from Osaka Exchange, which already operates a similar futures market. Despite a strong 43% stock rally over the past year reflecting growth expectations, SGX must overcome cautious market makers and potential volatility dips post-BOJ meeting to sustain momentum. Investors await SGX's half-year FY2026 results on February 5 for further insight.
