According to NASA’s official press release, they made the discovery using the Cassini space probe which has been studying the icy surface of Saturn's moon. In Saturn’s sixth largest moon, Enceladus, Cassini spacecraft detected four “tiger stripes” near its south pole, which spews out water. The spacecraft found an abundance of hydrogen molecules in the water plumes.
That's not all, the Cassini mission also found evidence for a subsurface ocean underneath the icy crust of the moon.
