A small moon of Saturn, Enceladus, bursts with towering icy geysers that contain complex organic molecules and salty water. Recent Cassini spacecraft missions found that these jets likely emerge from liquid water in contact with rock beneath the surface. This environment could provide the chemical energy needed to support life. While no organisms have been detected yet, the prospect of a habitable zone beyond Earth has grown stronger.
