Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Spouts Complex Organics That Could Hold Clues to Life
Analysis of Cassini data confirms Saturn’s moon Enceladus emits organic molecules, suggesting its subsurface ocean may harbor chemistry conducive to life.Analysis of Cassini data confirms Saturn’s moon Enceladus emits organic molecules, suggesting its subsurface ocean may harbor chemistry conducive to life.
Under its thick ice shell, Encelade hides a gigantic ocean, at the centre of the astrobiologists' attention for nearly twenty years. Today, a new analysis of the data of the Cassini probe has identified complex organic molecules, comparable to those found near the hydrothermal vents on Earth. What reinforces the idea that this iced satellite is, to date, one of the best candidates for the existence of extraterrestrial life throughout the solar s…
The hidden oceans of the ice moons of the solar system have intrigued scientists since solid data confirmed the presence of liquid water under their surface. Enceladus, Saturn's satellite, is one of the most promising targets, due to its active geysers ejecting particles directly from its basement. A recent study conducted by Nozair Khawaja, a researcher at Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Stuttgart, published in Nature Astronomy, …
