NASA Just Revealed There Could Be Life On Saturn's Moon, Enceladus
Since NASA's Cassini spacecraft detected gaseous hydrogen spouting from Saturn's Enceladus, scientists have hypothesized that the moon may have hydrothermal vents capable of supporting life....
==========
This week NASA held a live event to reveal it’s latest findings about Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. Scientists announced that the Cassini space probe has detected hydrogen gas coming from cracks in the icy crust, indicating that the moon’s subsurface oceans might be able to, dramatic pause… support life as we know it. Finding hydrogen is a big deal because, it’s a chemical we think is essential for life to form, the other’s being carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. We have now detected all of those on Enceladus except phosphorus and sulfur, but we suspect those elements are present in its rocky core as well. To detect the hydrogen, Cassini passed through a plume of mostly water vapor coming out of the cracks - or “tiger strip...
