Earth microbes survive simulated conditions of Enceladus ocean

Original: Earth microbes survive simulated conditions of Saturn moon’s ocean

New research indicates that Earth microbes can survive under simulated conditions of the ocean beneath the ice of Saturn's moon Enceladus, suggesting life there is not out of the question. Scientists see the finding as encouraging for the search for life beyond Earth, since Enceladus's subsurface ocean is considered one of the most promising places to look.

Why now: The finding fuels debate about the possibility of life on Saturn's moon Enceladus and future missions to explore its ocean.
