Phosphorus Found on Saturn’s Moon Enceladus: Promising Signs Of Life

Phosphorus Found on Saturn's Moon Enceladus: Promising Signs Of Life

Enceladus is the moon on Saturn, where scientists have made a great and important discovery by tracking down phosphorus, a necessary chemical used to build the most important block of life, in grains of salty ice from the moon’s ice shell. There is an ocean present under the covering of the icy surface of Enceladus Harbor. A material is indulged in the outer covering or an E ring of Saturn by the geysers at the south pole.

Phosphorus Discovery on Enceladus

A mission named Cassini by Nasa has collected the data, and they studied the moons and Saturn from the year from 2004 to 2017. Moreover, their study unfolds the presence of sodium, chlorine, phosphorus, potassium, and some carbonate compounds on the surface of the icy grain.

Phosphorus has a kind shape of phosphate which is a key to life on planet Earth as it plays a huge and important role in some transfer of energy to the cells thoroughly, cell membranes, and DNA and RNA.

As phosphorus was discovered in the Enceladus Ocean, it is a finding that this surface is likely for the human habitat. So it is assumed that sodium phosphate is present in great quantity on the icy grain’s surface, which clearly tells how much potential is there in the phosphate to life existence.
