Heat output from the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus is far greater than was previously thought possible, according to analysis of data collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Data from Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer of Enceladus' south polar terrain, which is marked by linear fissures, indicate that the internal heat-generated power is about 15.8 gigawatts, approximately 2.6 times the power output of all the hot springs in the Yellowstone region, or comparable to 20 coal-fueled power stations.
