Cassini Discovers Organic Molecules in Newly Released Ice Grains from Enceladus' Ocean

Enceladus, Saturn’s moon, constantly emits ice grains and gas plumes from its subterranean seas through fissures near the Antarctic region. A research team from the University of Stuttgart and the University of Berlin Fly utilized data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft to chemically analyze newly emitted particles originating from Enceladus’ ocean. They successfully identified intermediates of [...] The post Cassini Discovers Organic Molecules in N…
