Hidden Heat at Enceladus’ North Pole Bolsters Case for Life: Cassini Data Show Stable Ocean in New Study (Nov. 7, 2025)
Meta description: 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. Science+3SciTechDaily+3Space+3 Publish date: November 7, 2025 What’s new A peer‑reviewed study released today in Science Advances reports the first clear evidence of endogenic (internal) heat flow at Enceladus’ north pole. Until now, direct heat loss had only been measured at the south pole, where Cassini discovered dramatic plumes in 2005. The new result
