Enceladus, alien oceans

Enceladus study shows the physics of alien oceans could hide signs of life from spacecraft
Searching for life in alien oceans may be more difficult than scientists previously thought, even when we can sample these extraterrestrial waters directly.
Could Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Be Hiding Clues to Alien Life?
Scientists studying Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus, have discovered that its ocean forms layers that slow the upward movement of life’s chemical signatures. If microbial life exists in Enceladus’ deep sea,
Alien ocean could hide signs of life from spacecraft
A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it.
‘Enceladus is next’: A tiny asteroid just proved Saturn’s Moon might host life
Asteroid Bennu’s dust reveals amino acid precursors and ancient water traces, fueling hopes that Saturn’s moon Enceladus and other icy worlds might harbor life.
Is Saturn’s Moon Enceladus The Answer to Life Beyond Earth?
One of Saturn’s many moons, Enceladus, might look like a frozen wasteland, but astronomers are now saying it has all of the building blocks for life. It’s an ocean moon, though all of its surface water is frozen.
Alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life
A new study on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, reveals that the physics of its ocean might prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching the surface. Enceladus’s ocean forms layers that significantly slow material movement from the ocean floor to the surface,
Researchers practice searching for life on Enceladus, in the Arctic Ocean
When searching for alien life, it’s not unusual to use Earth as a test bed for theories and even practice runs. Perhaps one of the most tantalising places in the Solar System to look for life is Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
