Study probes Saturn's moon Enceladus. Plus, a new mission? A new study shed light on what powers Enceladus' extraordinary geologic activity, while - at a conference in Seattle last week - space visionaries discussed a return to this moon. Star of the week: Achermar Achernar - aka Alpha Eridani - is the 9th brightest star in the sky and the flattest star known.
