In our latest #SETILive #podcast, Beth learned about new research on the potential biomass for Saturn's moon, Titan. It turns out, according to lead author Dr. Antonin Affholder, that mass is very small — only a couple of kilograms, if it existed at all.

Join host Beth Johnson for a fascinating episode of SETI Live, featuring planetary scientists Dr Georgina Miles and Dr Carly Howett from the University of Oxford. We’ll be unpacking their groundbreaking study showing that Enceladus — one of Saturn’s icy moons — may harbor a stable subsurface ocean capable of supporting life. � What we’ll cover: How the Cassini mission’s data revealed heat flow from Enceladus’ north pole, overturning previous assumptions that only the south pole was active. Why b

Could Uranus’s moon Ariel have once harbored a vast, deep ocean beneath its icy crust—perhaps even one that still lingers today? In this episode of SETI Live, host Beth Johnson welcomes Caleb Strom (University of North Dakota) and Alex Pathoff (Planetary Science Institute) to discuss new research revealing evidence that Ariel may have once held a subsurface ocean over 170 kilometers deep. Using geological mapping and tidal‐stress modeling, the team shows how ancient fractures and ridges on Ariel
