Cassini Flying Through Ice Chunks

NASA's Cassini probe is flying VERY close to one of Saturn's tiniest moons. Why? Well, it sounds like a bit of a far-fetched stunt, but NASA wants to fly the probe through a cloud of flying ice chunks from a giant geyser, to find out if there's life under the surface of the moon.

But don't take MY word for it...
