Enceladus, a small icy moon of Saturn appears to be nothing special. 

However under that ice-cold exterior, Enceladus hosts an active and potentially habitable environment. The Cassini Spacecraft uncovered many mysteries about this little moon, including an ocean and hydrothermal activity. 

This talk will explore Enceladus from its centre to its icy water jets, proving good things do come in small sizes.

Meet the speaker

Dr Rachael Hamp is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Open University studying the geochemistry of icy moons. 

She has studied from the rocky centre to the icy plumes of these unique worlds to understand their chemistry and potential to host life.

Doors open at 6.30pm
