Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Coated in Fresh powder
Scientists estimate that Enceladus’s low gravity—about one percent that of Earth—allows some of the ice emitted by the polar geysers to jet into space rather than falling back to the moon’s surface.
Enough material escapes to form an entire ring of Saturn, called the E ring.
