Enceladus Shows Potential for Life
Reading
Scientists found new things on Saturn's moon Enceladus. The moon has icy geysers that shoot into space. This makes it more likely that Enceladus could have life.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft looked at Enceladus in 2008. Enceladus has an ocean under its icy surface. This makes it a good place to look for life beyond Earth.
Enceladus might be a place where life can exist. But scientists do not know if there is life there now. Fabian Klenner said being habitable is not the same as having life.
Scientists looked again at ice from Enceladus's geysers. These ice grains were new, not old. The new grains hit Cassini very fast, so scientists could see them better.
The scientists found some old and new molecules in the grains. They think the molecules came from Enceladus's ocean. Scientists want to send new missions to study Enceladus more.
