NASA – The discovery of complex organic compounds for the first time on the moon of Saturn Enceladus

Complex organic molecules from the soles of the Enceladus moon of Saturn have been discovered for the first time, according to a new study. As the researchers say, it is likely that a planned spaceship will soon be explored.

Enceladus, Saturn's sixth largest moon, estimates 314 miles (505 km) of life on glaciers like Enceladus. Make the moon small enough to spread in the Arizona border.

In 2005, Cassini discovered bursts of water vapor and ice particles from the Enceladus moon, which revealed a giant ocean disappearing under the crust of the icy moon. Since the existence of life on the planet where water exists, this study suggests the possibility of life on Enceladus.

What the scientists revealed in Enceladus water eruptions was nothing more than simple organic compounds made from carbon. Combined carbon. But what scientists have discovered in the eruptions of the moon are now complex organic molecules, some of which have at least 15 carbon atoms combined.

The author of the study Frank Postberg, a scientist from the planet at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. The very first discovery of complex organic compounds in the extraterrestrial worlds. "
