Scientists discovered that Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, has geyser curtains that spew as 200 kilos per second from its "tiger stripes."
The fragmented, tormented surface on such a tiny planetary body startled researchers.
Researchers published the work, "Cooling Crusts Create Concomitant Cryovolcanic Cracks," in Geophysical Research Letters.
Enceladus, Saturn's sixth moon, is the size of the United Kingdom and is covered in kilometers of ice.
A liquid ocean lies under the surface, which breaks through a series of fissures at the southern pole, blasting a continual geyser into space.
That geyser includes signs of submarine vents, seawater, and even methane, indicating that life may exist in the pitch-black waters.
