Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 www.planetary.org/saturn/enceladus.html Encedladus is the smallest geologically active body in the solar system, the only asteroid-size one. Could be a gravity tidal thing. It's the same size as a country in Africa. Its smooth surface, hence younger than the early bombardment era, matches geological activity: the surface gets renewed. Only the Earth, Mars, and Io are geologically active too, and the Moon seismically only. >> Here's the link to liquid water on Enceladus:> > http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/09mar_enceladus.htm?list712360> > Rainbow> Quote
