Saturn moon Enceladus' ocean spray forms diverse ice grains
Original: How Enceladus' ocean spray becomes chemically diverse ice grains
New research explains how spray from the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus turns into chemically diverse ice grains. Scientists describe the processes that give the plume particles their varied composition, shedding light on what the moon's hidden ocean contains. Enceladus is a key target in the search for life beyond Earth because its ocean vents material into space.
Why now: Fresh research on Enceladus' plume chemistry is relevant to astrobiology and the search for life
