Scientists Just Found New Evidence of Life on Enceladus
The question Enceladus is asking is whether the transition from chemistry to biology is easy or hard. Whether it is something that happens whenever conditions permit, or whether we are alone in a universe that almost got there but never quite did.
A small, bright moon, five hundred kilometres wide, has become the most precise instrument humanity has ever had for answering that question. And it is answering it in real time, one grain of ice at a time.

Glesien 2, is an ice giant in the universe 74 light years away and is a type 3 category 5 solar system on the far sides of andromeda, it host life of uncontending material and host an atmosphere 7x thicker than earth

we dont know what it takes for life only for carbon base life, but that dosent mean its the only form of life

One visual feature which sets Enceladus apart from icy objects like Europa, is the lack of brown coloration of tholins along the stripes. This difference should have been discussed as well. We picture Europa as having an ocean rich in organic minerals, which may be deposited on the icy surface during water eruption. The materials react with solar radiation to form tholins, giving the cracks a brown to orange color. On Enceladus, I cannot see that color. What are the reasons? If there is life on Enceladus, may it have consumed those organic compounds, leaving hardly anything to form those tholins? Or maybe the geysers erupt at higher than escape velocity, letting most of the material form Saturn's E ring and whatever falls back is widely spread across the surface?

I am sure this is a study from like 5 or 3 years ago, I find the "just found" clickbaity, and it really annoys me. And I find it scummy.

Enceladus can be colonize miniature Dyson shell worlds.❤ Just few thousand feet thick. Advance aerogel type. Spherical paradome terraformed.

I hope I live long enough to see us discover the Encelapod society below the ice!

How many other bodies in the Solar System are thought to have subsurface oceans? I know the recent flyby of Pluto made it a possible candidate, and Titan was but they seem to be leaning towards it being more of a slush now.

For decades? Thanks for making that statement right at the beginning so I know not to waste my time watching the rest of this ai bs.

missleading, no evidence of life there so far.

Methinks goo is not rare. It is everywhere. If you have vast quantities of liquid water with millions of years to work with, goo will find a way to come about. I actually find it exceedingly difficult to imagine a vast water ocean that is absolutely sterile. Don't you? The rare thing is when goo grows and morphs into civilizations.

I'll be damned if that doesn't look like a monster logo on its surface. Now THAT would be a helluva coincidence.

I am a bit concerned about these future landing missions and the possibility of contamination. I hope they are very careful with that in particular. For all we know that is how life began on earth!

Sumerian clay text has a star chart with 47 planets with life. Webb telescope has located 15 planets with potential life on it. Those 15 planets are part of those 47 life planets! # planets are off limits, one is a danger to outside life forms, one that no one is allowed to visit, one is difficult to survive in! The history is here, why they hide things to us I just do not understand except just to control us! Seen enough UFO craft to know we are not alone, and have never been alone!

How exciting and thrilling and I'll move in next year if there's any openings. But Realtors being the way they are I'm probably too late already

Please explain why anyone should care about life outside our elliptic. Carbon lifeforms have requirements that can never be simulated beyond our environment. It's a boondoggle.

New evidence of life?? Be honest, it's not really, is it?? Conditions that MAY support life, fine, although there are many extremophiles here on Earth that 'shouldn't' really exist.. Wake me up when you find a house on Pluto or that famous red London bus on Mars – then I will agree there is life elsewhere!
