Cassini approached the Saturn moon Enceladus November 2 sparking renewed public interest in the plumes shooting out from the south polar region; the spacecraft will return to the moon November 21 to gain more data on the unusual body. The Enceladus geysers are one of the more unique locations in the solar system that will most certainly spawn more scientific investigation in the coming decade. There are a number of YouTube video to learn more about Enceladus, e.g. one, two and three. NASA, USA Today, Wired, NewsPost, and Spaceflight Now have the latest news of the Cassini approach of 60 miles to the surface of Enceladus. There is speculation of the possibility of alien life on the very unusual moon of Saturn.
