NASA's James Webb telescope spots gigantic water plume on Saturn's moon Enceladus

NASA's James Webb telescope has detected a water vapour plume that spans over 9,000 kilometres on Saturn's moon Enceladus, as per a report by Indian Express.

To put the enormity of the plume into context, its size is nearly thrice the distance between Kashmir and Kanyakumari.

Notably, Enceladus has a diameter of a little more than 500 kilometres, which means that it is just 4 per cent the size of our planet.

The size of the plume as well as the rate at which it spews out water, which is about 300 litres per second, has amazed scientists.
