Enceladus Is Spraying Chemistry From an Ocean

Saturn's moon Enceladus vents water vapor, ice grains, salts and organic compounds from a hidden ocean beneath its ice. Cassini sampled that plume, giving scientists a chemical window into an ocean world. Editorial note: organic molecules and habitable chemistry are not evidence that life exists on Enceladus; they identify a compelling place to investigate.
