A new study reports that Earth microbes can survive in simulated conditions of the ocean beneath the ice of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. The findings suggest that similar life could potentially exist in the moon's subsurface sea, strengthening the case for future missions to sample Enceladus and adding to ongoing debates about where to look for life beyond Earth.
