The Cassini spacecraft has found evidence of liquid water spewing from geysers on Enceladus, one of Saturn's icy moons.

You do have an advantage, you used the word "spewing" which always makes for a great FPP, so don't be too hard on yourself.

No problem, jrb223, it's hot news (albeit from a very cold place, oddly).

Wkipedia says Enceladus is pronounced like en-sed-uh-lus, but I think we should call it Enchilada.

or en-sel-uh-dus, even. I still prefer Enchilada.
