Physics of ‘tiger stripes’ on Saturn Moon Enceladus explained

The video explores the mystery of the tiger stripes on Saturn's moon, Enceladus. Discovered by the Cassini probe, these fractures are unique formations that constantly emit water and ice. The stripes are caused by Enceladus' eccentric orbit around Saturn, which generates heat through gravitational stretching. This heat prevents the moon from freezing solid and leads to the formation of the stripes as water erupts, freezes, and accumulates, causing parallel fractures.
