While this is first and foremost a community and public safety issue, it also raises an important question for travelers and household planners: how do we prepare for the unexpected, protect our loved ones, and keep stress to a minimum at home and on the road?

Saturn’s small, icy moon Enceladus has done exactly that. Long suspected to hide a global, salty ocean beneath its frozen crust, Enceladus actively vents towering plumes of water vapor and ice grains from fissures near its south pole. When planetary scientists call the evidence for habitability there “simply phenomenal,” they’re not being poetic; they’re recognizing that the building blocks and energy sources conducive to life may be present in a world no larger than the British Isles.
