"Saturn's Ocean Moon: A Potential Haven for Life with Key Ingredients Detected"

Scientists have discovered strong evidence of hydrogen cyanide on Enceladus, an icy moon orbiting Saturn, which is a key molecule for the origin of life. The moon's ocean, beneath its icy surface, contains plumes of water vapor rich in organic molecules, suggesting it could act as a source of chemical energy. The findings increase the likelihood that Enceladus could host and sustain life, although it is not definitive proof. The data was collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft during its mission around Saturn.
