The planet Saturn is at the center of an amazing discovery that has answered many questions that scientists have had for several decades, and the announcement comes as a huge surprise. Scientists have been analyzing the moon Enceladus near the planet Saturn for a long time, it is known to many as "the moon with tiger stripes, and this is because of the shapes that are visible on its surface, scientists having various theories about them .
The planet Saturn influenced to an extremely large extent the way in which they were formed, as it happened with many other geographical elements visible on the moons it has. Scientists have only recently discovered that these formations visible on the surface of the moon Enceladus near the planet Saturn would actually be cracks that reach deep inside the moon, probably to the underground oceans that it hides under the ice on the surface.
Planet Saturn: AMAZING Discovery, what Mankind Learned
The planet Saturn has not had its surface monitored in such a way, so we do not know if it has similar characteristics to those of the moon Enceladus, but this is unlikely. Regarding the moon, researchers also believe that the surface would have different thicknesses, especially in the area of the south pole, and the planet Saturn would have had a great impact on the way it was formed, its gravitational force being at the center of many changes for the relief forms of the moon.
"Our models show that tidal stresses can fracture the ice sheet all the way through, but indirectly limit how thick the ice can be. The ocean is under pressure, so water is forced into small cracks at the base of the shell, which widen and propagate the cracks to the surface. The exact thicknesses of the ice cover are not known – but Enceladus' ice cover may be thinner than we think at the south pole."
The planet Saturn does not seem to be able to hide possible traces of life, but the moon Enceladus could have various forms of life in its underground oceans, locations that scientists would like to explore. Of course, this process would be extremely difficult, especially since the planet Saturn and its moon are very far from Earth, but scientists believe that there are many secrets there that could not confirm the first life forms in the solar system, in outside the Earth.
The planet Saturn is currently no longer monitored by any space probe, but new missions are being considered to monitor the planet in the coming years.
