Planet Saturn has an incredible announcement about the existence of life just two days after we learned another completely unexpected news about the discovery of water in the atmosphere on Jupiter, and things are starting to get interesting. The planet Saturn has next to it a moon called Enceladus, including an ocean that would control the level of CO2 in the atmosphere by means of chemical reactions that take place on its bottom constantly.
Planet Saturn had the gas releases from Enceladus, coming through ice cracks on the moon's surface, analyzed by researchers to reach the conclusion that there could be life there. NASA's Cassini probe, sent to study the planet Saturn, is the one that allowed the analysis of these gas releases, and so the researchers were able to realize that there is much more under the surface of the ice than they imagined.
Planet Saturn: The INCREDIBLE Announcement Regarding the Existence of Life
Planet Saturn it is not one that can support life, but it seems that life could be supported under the frozen surface of the ocean on Enceladus, which comes as a very big surprise. The conditions that would exist there, although it is not known how deep it would be, could allow the support of life, which would be impossible on the planet Saturn, but here is that on its nearest moon there is a greater chance that life can be maintained , even if only under ice water.
"By understanding the composition of the plume, we can learn about what the ocean is like, how it got to be the way it is, and whether it provides environments where life as we know it could survive. We have come up with a new technique for analyzing the composition of plumes to estimate the concentration of dissolved CO2 in the ocean. This allowed modeling to probe deeper inner processes.”
Planet Saturn it does not have the same conditions as on Enceladus, at the bottom of the ocean or there seem to be areas with geothermal water, this being released into the ocean, and there the temperature is higher than in other areas. Of course, these should be discovered and closely analyzed before a clear conclusion can be reached that the moon near the planet Saturn could ever support life as we currently know it on Earth.
Planet Saturn it was analyzed for quite some time by the Cassini probe, but more data analyzed from there is needed to be able to say whether life can be supported on Enceladus or not.
