The search for signs of life on the objects of the solar system is very an interesting occupation, although, by the way, to this day, no the simplest elements of living things have not been discovered on Mars, not on other planets.
Nevertheless, the English scientist Stephen Hawking is sure that humanity will be able to “stretch” on Earth no more than a thousand years, therefore, the search for possible life on other space objects is still may become useful.
For a long time it was believed that the underground oceans in space could to be a good place for living organisms to exist. And in In 2014, scientists made a revolutionary statement – they reported that on one of Saturn’s many satellites Enceladus may placed like an ocean of liquid water that is hidden under a crust ice. According to astronomers, Enceladus is the most favorable a place for the existence of life, because all were found on the satellite elements necessary for this, including liquid water, carbon, organic bonds, nitrogen and energy sources.
The satellite is considered one of the three celestial bodies in the Solar a system on which volcanic eruptions often occur. According to conducted research, we are talking about emissions from the liquid ocean, hidden beneath the surface of the planet. In addition, ten years ago scientists noticed fountains of ice particles on the satellite’s surface, called “pen.” It is these particles that form the “trace”, which wraps around Saturn and looks like a ring.
Cassini spacecraft did a great job on the study of the planet and its satellites. Until mid-2017, he will be transmit to scientists information about Enceladus and Titan. Considering new data on Enceladus, NASA is actively preparing to launch a joint venture with ESA TSSM project, which will study all the moons of Saturn.
