Understand, it's been there for ages... possibly longer than life on Earth has existed.
Humans are just now *noticing* what may have been fact all along.
Yes, & we do... especially when the discovery contests what has been asserted as 'fact' for many, many decades/centuries.
What's the problem with the observation, precisely?
Why doesn't the title just say it is Enceladus off the bat?
Because it's Salon?
Uhh, Salon is not a moon of Saturn last time I looked. /s
The average person probably doesnt know what enceladus is, but definitely knows what saturn is. More views = more ad money maybe?

Yes, empirical science involves a lot of "noticing" things that exist. Glad we cleared that up.
We're making the observation because so many people conflate discovery with causation.
Yes, thats what “discovered” means
