How Enceladus' Ocean Spray Becomes Chemically 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, which escapes through cracks in its icy shell and feeds the moon's famous plumes, turns into ice grains with a wide range of chemical compositions. Scientists say the process offers clues about the ocean's chemistry and its potential to host life.
Why now: Enceladus is a prime target in the search for life beyond Earth, and findings about its plume chemistry attract wide attention.
