New Evidence Enceladus, the Moon, Saturn Planet, is Habitable for Humans
A new study reveals the potential viability of Enceladus, Saturn's moon, for human habitation. The researchers found that the ocean region of Enceladus may be rich in soluble phosphorus, an essential but previously undetected element of life on this planet in the solar system. Enceladus, the second Moon found around Saturn, has a thick shell of ice in the middle of a subglacial ocean, forming a clump that scientists have discovered contains the five basic elements of life, namely carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. However, the essential element of phosphorus has not been found, as quoted from Xinhua, Tuesday (11/10/2022). Due to the absence of elemental phosphorus, which is an essential component of bone, cell membranes, and DNA in humans and animals, Enceladus was previously considered uninhabitable by the international scientific community. However, an international research team led by a number of Chinese scientists debunked previous findings by claiming that they foun…
