Confirmed: all of the required elements for life are on ’s moon . That doesn’t necessarily mean life exists there but , to the best of our knowledge, it could.

Fosfor, bouwsteen voor leven, gevonden op Enceladus

Fosfor is niet eerder gedetecteerd in oceanen buiten die van de Aarde en deze ontdekking is een veelbelovende stap voorwaarts in ons begrip van oceaanwerelden.

Phosphorous, crucial for life, found on Saturn's moon Enceladus - The Washington Post
archive.ph/r7wdJ

"Saturn’s moon Enceladus has enticed scientists for years with its plumes fizzing their way up from an ocean beneath a thick crust of ice. Now there’s a new element to the story, literally: That cold, dark ocean appears to contain a form of phosphorus, an essential ingredient for life as we know it."

Researchers using recently discovered a plume jetting out from the south pole of Enceladus more than 20 times the size of the Saturn moon itself. This animation illustrates how the moon’s water plumes feed the planet’s torus.

Years ago, the Dude worked on the NASA Cassini mission, on a software development team focused on the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer.

Yesterday came a BIG new announcement - not from VIMS data, but wowza...

So today I'm congratulating the Dude for discovering extraterrestrial life (sorta, indirectly, maybe possibly)
