Saturn is really far away!

But there are tidal effects under Enceladus, which melts the water under the crust. And this Cassini probe has done some incredible science for the past years.

BTW, NASA is going to crash into Saturn in 2017. That's right. NASA is going to bomb Saturn!!!!! (Can hardly wait for that DU thread.)

Happy to R&K

…outside the ice-box, in this case.

So…. there are other ways to generate heat in a far away planet's moon. What is that… 30 miles from Saturn's surface? Can you imagine standing on Saturn and seeing it above?

This is mind candy!
