Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Christopher Glein has discovered new evidence for a key building block for life in the subsurface ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

This finding bolsters mounting evidence for habitability within this small Saturnian moon. The next step is clear: “We need to get back to see if a habitable ocean is actually inhabited,” Glein says.Read Long Article
