Saturn's moon Enceladus may play host to hardy microbes like these

Something is happening beneath the ice on Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

Scientists have long-thought that the icy world could possibly play host to microbial life within the subsurface ocean, which is hidden under a shell of ice. Now, thanks to some new Earthly research published this week in the journal Nature Communications, researchers have a little more proof that microbes could potentially thrive in that ocean’s briny water.

Before the Cassini spacecraft plunged to its death in 2017, it flew through plumes of ice, water vapor, and gases being ejected near Enceladus’s south pole. The spacecraft found traces of methane gas in that material.  Read more…
