Philosophy Wire: A planet were it always snows…

article-2045471-0E3C591E00000578-786_634x393Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-10-05]: Enceladus, the moon of Saturn, is covered with snow. Scientists discovered that small particles of ice are pouring out of cracks due to heat and during the last few tens of millions of years have covered the planet with 100 m deep snow [source: web news]. The scientific way is a rather… shallow way to describe a miracle… Snowflakes in the dark, falling for millions of years on a silent planet who moves around the magical Saturn with its rings. How much more poetical can nature be?
