It all starts with a curiosity; the strange moons of Saturn.

Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, has captured the attention of scientists because of the plumes of water vapor it expels into space through cracks in its icy surface.

These plumes reveal the presence of a surface ocean of liquid water, salts and organic compounds, which suggests that there could be favorable conditions for microbial life, and evidence of hydrothermal activity has been found at the bottom of this ocean similar to the sources that host life on Earth.

The Cassini probe provided much of this information; future space missions could give us important answers about the possible existence of life on the moon Enceladus.

Mimas is one of Saturn's moons that looks strikingly similar to the Death Star from Star Wars, this is due to a huge crater called Hershel that measures about 130 km in diameter. This crater with its large central peak makes Mimas have an appearance eerily similar to the famous space station that is an icon of science fiction.

Hyperion is one of the strangest moons of Saturn due to its irregular shape and its surface full of craters that gives it a sponge-like appearance. Hyperion also has a very chaotic rotation which means that its orientation changes unpredictably. This unusual characteristic is due to the gravitational influence of Saturn and other nearby moons.

Iapetus could be called the moon of two faces, one of its hemispheres is extremely bright and the other is very dark, this difference is due to the accumulation of dark material on one of its faces possibly from another moon of Saturn Phoebe or from the ring system of the planet itself, the combination of colors makes Iapetus one of the most unique moons in the solar system.

The Cassini Special Probe launched in 1997 arrived at Saturn in 2004 and spent 13 years studying the planet, its rings and its moons. During its most ambitious mission to date to explore Saturn, the Cassini probe discovered many of its mysteries and secrets including the Geysers of Enceladus and the methane lakes on Titan.

In 2017, Cassini ended its mission in spectacular fashion by self-destructing in Saturn's atmosphere, sending data until the last moment in its final descent before disintegrating.
