Asteroid strike may have 'tipped' Saturn's moon's axis: NASA
Saturn's icy, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus may have reoriented its original axis by 55Âº due to a possible asteroid strike, according to NASA's Cassini mission. Examining the moon's fractures, scientists believe the geologically active region was unlikely to happen by intrinsic processes. In 2005, Cassini probe discovered jets of water vapour and icy particles from Enceladus' "current" south pole.
