Liquid Water Found on Enceladus

(CNN) -- The Cassini space probe has found evidence of geysers erupting from underground pools of liquid water on Saturn's moon Enceladus, scientists announced on Thursday.

High-definition pictures beamed back from the probe showed huge plumes of ice coming from the moon's south pole.

"We're inferring that there is a liquid water reservoir under the surface and it's erupting in a geyser-like fashion, maybe like the Yellowstone geysers you would see," said Linda Spilker, Cassini Deputy Project Scientist.

I've never left the earth's atmosphere, but I have been in geyser basins at Yellowstone National Park, so I more or less know what it's like to be on Enceladus, one of Saturn's 31 moons.
