Enshalad, Saturn's satellite, once again confirmed the status of one of the main candidates for the role of “the world with people” outside the earth. According to the new research of the European Space Agency (ESA), published on the basis of analyzing the observations of Cassini mission, on this ice satellite has all the main conditions for the appearance of life: liquid water, energy source, necessary chemical elements and complex organic molecules.
The researchers found that the giant spraying water were thrown out of the enzyme's surface into the space. They include unknown organic molecules – including simple and complex esters, as well as nitrogen and oxygen compounds. These substances on Earth play an important role in forming more complex, biological molecules.
Part of the organic substances found earlier within the e Saturn's circle once again recorded in fresh ice on the Enzelad itself, this shows their origin from the water ocean. According to scientists, chemical reactions occur at the depth of the satellite, which may be the steps to form the basic things of life.
There are many possible ways from these organic molecules to biological significance compounds, he said the head of Nosair Hawaja's research. Even when life is not found on Enzelad, the presence of such an appropriate environment raises an important question: Why is it not there?
