Stunning Nasa images capture hints of Saturn moon's underground ocean

Cassini spacecraft images as it flew by Enceladus capture the grooved and cratered surface of the moon, and the bright streaks of vapor plumes

A Nasa spacecraft that dived through a geyser plume on one of Saturn's moons, closer to the surface than ever before, has delivered the first images and data from its "taste" of an underground ocean.

The Cassini spacecraft made its lowest pass over Enceladus on Wednesday, flying only 30 miles above the moon's south pole and through jets of freezing water vapour and other molecules erupting from below ground.
