Encelade, Saturn's moon, continuously ejects large amounts of ice particles into space from its underground ocean. Researchers have chemically analyzed freshly emitted particles from the underground ocean of Encelade. using data from the Cassini probe. They were able to detect intermediates of biologically relevant organic molecules, discovered for the first time in ice particles from an ocean outside the Earth. The study is published in Nature …
