Enceladus's geyser-like jets release ice and water vapor hundreds of kilometers into space from its south pole.
NASA 's Cassini spacecraft identified these jets in 2005 , before going on to sample them in 2008 , 2009 and 2015 .
A large subsurface ocean, spanning approximately 20 million km3, has commonly been thought to be the primary source of the geysers.
However, new modeling research by Professor Colin Meyer , of Dartmouth College , U.S. , has offered support for an alternative explanation.
