"Potential for Life: A Moon in Our Solar System Holds Promise"

Saturn's moon, Enceladus, may have the ideal ratio of elements to support life, according to data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft mission. The moon's water plumes contain a mix of chemicals, including carbon dioxide, water vapor, ammonia, and phosphorus. The Redfield ratio, which is critical for sustaining life on Earth, is also present on Enceladus. While signs of methanogenesis suggest the possibility of life, further research is needed to determine the complexity of organisms. Jupiter's moon, Europa, also shows potential for sustaining life. As more data is gathered, scientists hope to understand the conditions necessary for life on these celestial bodies.
