Enceladus The Icy Moon with the Potential for Alien Life

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery on Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus. An analysis of data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has revealed that the underground ocean of the moon contains phosphorus, an essential building block of life used to construct DNA and RNA. The concentrations of phosphorus in Enceladus’ ocean may even be thousands of times greater than in Earth’s ocean.
