Enceladus, Saturn's Moon, Contains Key Ingredients for Life

TL;DR Summary
Enceladus, a moon that orbits Saturn, contains all six major ingredients for life, including phosphorous, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. Phosphate, the sixth element essential for all known life, was found buried deep in Enceladus' salty subsurface oceans. While the discovery doesn't necessarily mean that there's life currently on Enceladus, it means it could potentially host it, making it an even more compelling destination for future missions to search for alien life.
