Planetary scientists claim they have finally solved a 14—year mystery by discovering the source of the water in Saturn’s upper atmosphere.
A team, led by Paul Hartogh of Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, says that the Herschel space observatory has found that giant jets of vapour from the planet’s moon Enceladus are responsible for Saturn’s water.
The latest discovery around Saturn has revealed that the planet’s sixth—largest moon Enceladus is covered with ice and is providing water to Saturn, creating a rain—showering halo.
