Saturn moon has necessary conditions to harbor life

An ice-encrusted moon orbiting Saturn appears to have the conditions necessary for life, NASA announced on April 13, unveiling new findings made by its unmanned Cassini spacecraft.

Cassini has detected hydrogen molecules in vapor plumes emanating from cracks in the surface of Enceladus, a small ocean moon coated in a thick layer of ice, the U.S. space agency said.
