Is Life inside Enceladus? Cassini Uncovers Complex Organic Chemistry in Saturn’s Ocean Moon

TL;DR


Summary:
- The Cassini spacecraft has discovered complex organic molecules in the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus, suggesting the potential for life to exist in the subsurface ocean of this icy moon.
- Enceladus has a subsurface ocean that is heated by tidal forces, and the organic molecules found in the plumes indicate that this ocean may be a habitable environment for microbial life.
- The findings from Cassini's observations of Enceladus provide important clues about the potential for life to exist in other icy moons in our solar system, and they highlight the need for future missions to explore these potentially habitable environments.
