News about the Cassini Huygens space mission

A raíz de la reseña de “Titan”, el libro de Ben Bova sobre el que escribí hace unas semanas, comenté en este blog que estábamos sin noticias de la misión espacial Cassini – Huygens desde hacía mucho tiempo… Pues cosas del destino: hoy tenemos noticias de esta misión. La ESA ha enviado un comunicado explicando que la nave Cassini ha detectado sales de sodio en granos de hielo del anillo E de Saturno.

El anillo E de Saturno es un anillo poco visible y algo más alejado de los típicos anillos de Saturno. Este anillo se abastece de material procedente una luna de Saturno llamada Encélado with which it shares orbit and that occasionally suffers eruptions at its poles throwing stuff to the space. The attached image corresponds to the moon and was taken by Cassini in 2005.

Salted ice detection in this indicates that the little moon ring of Saturn hosts reserves of liquid water, or perhaps even an ocean beneath its surface, hence the news is particularly interesting.
