- Abstract
The article focuses on the travel of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Cassini spacecraft in the U.S. It says that Cassini's instruments will try to evaluate the size and acceleration of gas and ice particles as well as the chemical composition. Cassini's scientist John Spencer said that the investigation will move towards the 200 kilometres of the plume's origin. Furthermore, it states that Enceladus, one of the Saturn's moons has 500 kilometres in diameter that will only take minutes to fly.
