🌊 Oceans on other worlds?

Did you know Saturn's moon Enceladus hides an ocean beneath its icy crust? Water interacting with rock on the sea floor could potentially yield chemical reactions that would make the ingredients for life possible. About as wide as Arizona, Enceladus also has the most reflective surface in the solar system.
 
On Oct. 9, 2008, just after coming within 25 kilometers (15.6 miles) of the surface of Enceladus, the Cassini spacecraft captured this stunning mosaic as the probe sped away from this intriguing moon of Saturn.
