Recent space missions to the outer solar system, Galileo
(1996-2003) and Cassini-Huygens (2004-today), together with ground
observations, have revealed that the moons of the outer solar
system are enigmatic objects, introducing extraordinary challenges
for geologists, astrobiologists, organic chemists, and
planetologists. Chemical exchange exists through the different
layers that form their interiors, and also from the interior to the
surface. The most convincing evidence is certainly the discovery of
water vapour and ice particles emerging from Enceladus's active
south polar region. Evidence for exchange with a subsurface liquid
ocean has also been provided by the inference of hydrated salts on
the surfaces of Jupiter's moons, Europa and Ganymede, as well as
the detection of sodium salts in particles originating in
Enceladus's plumes. Aqueous exchange with the rocky core may also
be possible, considering that 40Ar has been observed in the plumes
of Enceladus during one flyby of Cassini and in the atmosphere of
Titan. The ongoing CH4 replenishment in Titan's atmosphere is
additional striking evidence of exchange processes within the
moons.
