Enceladus is an amazing moon only a few hundred miles in diameter. But because it is in gravitational tug of war between Saturn and another moon, it is constantly being "jerked around" thus creating friction and heat in it's core. There are geysers that shoot high above the surface of Enceladus. Cassini flew through some of the geysers and determined there were salts and organic material being jettisoned into space. Could there be tube worms or other geothermal life forms living deep in the hidden ocean? IMO If there is one place we need to send a space probe, it is the Ice Moon.
