NOW

SATURN'S MOON!!!

{ Enceladus }

Enceladus  is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn. It is about 500 kilometers (310 mi) in diameter, about a tenth of that of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Enceladus is mostly covered by fresh, clean ice, making it one of the most reflective bodies of the solar system. Consequently, its surface temperature at noon only reaches −198 °C (−324 °F), far colder than a light-absorbing body would be. Despite its small size, Enceladus has a wide range of surface features, ranging from old, heavily cratered regions to young, tectonically deformed terrains that formed as recently as 100 million years ago.

BUT!!!WONDERFUL NEWS IS THAT@

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has revealed that Saturn's moon Enceladus has conditions which are necessary for life.

Cassini scientists announced that a form of chemical energy that life can feed on appears to exist on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

The unmanned Cassini spacecraft detected the hydrogen in the plume of gas and icy material emanating from hot cracks near the south pole of Enceladus during its last and deepest, dive through the plume on Oct. 28, 2015.

•      FACTORS that are needed for life??

• The primary ingredients required to sustain life include liquid water; a source of energy for metabolism; and the right chemical ingredients, primarily carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.
  The latest findings suggest that Enceladus - a small, icy moon a billion miles farther from the sun than Earth - has nearly all of these ingredients for habitability.
  Although Cassini hasn't yet shown presence of phosphorus and sulfur in the ocean, scientists suspect them to be, since the rocky core of Enceladus is thought to be chemically similar to meteorites that contain the two elements.
  "Confirmation that the chemical energy for life exists within the ocean of a small moon of Saturn is an important milestone in our search for habitable worlds beyond Earth," said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
  The paper from researchers with the Cassini mission was published in the journal Science.
