Key building block of life found on ocean world orbiting Saturn

Phosphorus, a crucial chemical component for life, has been discovered on Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons.

Scientists have detected phosphorus in the salty ice grains that are released into space through plumes erupting from the cracks in Enceladus’ icy shell, CNN reported.

Enceladus harbors an ocean beneath its thick icy surface, and material from these geysers regularly escapes and becomes part of Saturn’s outermost E ring.

The findings are based on data collected during NASA’s Cassini mission, which extensively studied Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017.
