The Cassini spacecraft (which has been mostly exploring Titan recently) found evidence of geysers on the tiny Saturn moon Enceladus after a relatively close flyby!
I've heard lots of theories about Europa supporting life beneath its thick icy surface, but never expected this! The ice is apparently only yards thick in the south polar region, where below the surface the water is being heated and released from the surface. Warm water is a great starting place for life to exist!
