Earth microbes survive simulated conditions of Saturn moon's ocean
A new study reports that Earth microbes were able to survive conditions simulating the ocean of Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon, which is thought to hold a subsurface saltwater sea. The finding suggests life could endure in environments similar to those on the moon, fuelling interest in future missions to sample Enceladus and strengthening the case that it may be habitable.
Why now: The result bears on the search for extraterrestrial life and the case for exploring Enceladus.
