Saturn's moon could hold alien life as scientists make stunning discovery
Scientists studying Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus say its underground ocean could support microbial life, after experiments found deep-sea bacteria could survive conditions similar to those believed to exist beneath the moon’s frozen surface.Researchers recreated the chemical environment thought to be present in Enceladus’ subsurface ocean and exposed the bacteria "Methanothermococcus okinawensis" to the extreme conditions.The ocean is expected to…
Enceladus, Saturn's moon, has under its icy surface a large ocean, and what is believed to be its characteristics have been reproduced in a laboratory
An experiment shows the possibility that terrestrial organisms could live in the hostile environment under Enceladus' frozen crust, thus reinforcing the hypothesis that Saturn's month could sustain life,...
Enceladus, Saturn’s moon, has under its icy surface a large ocean, and what is believed to be its characteristics have been reproduced in a laboratory. Data indicate that certain microorganisms could tolerate, better than was thought, the conditions of that place. The entry Some microorganisms could withstand the living conditions of Enceladus was first published in Digital Process.
We thought we'd discover life on Mars, but in view of the observations made thanks to the Cassini mission we wonder if it's not on Encelade, Saturn's little ice moon of 500 kilometers in diameter, that we will discover the first forms of alien life. But...
