"These geysers, often referred to as plumes, belong to Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, which is an ocean world that is a strong target for searching for life beyond Earth." Read more in this new article from @Labroots & @Space_LR! labroots.com/trending/space/…

There might be organic material in those plumes?
That was a surprise.

To be fair, Phobos and Deimos aren't really moons, they're simply captured debris.

Its actually very easy. A real moon is spherical due to gravitational forces, whereas asteroids, space debris, rocks, are irregular and smaller. So a moon is typically around 400km in diameter or greater. Otherwise, a pebble could be called a moon.

@StanadMakobo The important for me when I read about planetary exploration is to learn something new & in the case of the article of @ET_Exists it was to learn that the Northern Mars polar cap is 2 KM deep. The article makes you want to know more. So mission accomplished
