Fexl | Scientists Just Found New Evidence of Life on Enceladus

The question Enceladus is asking is whether the transition from chemistry to biology is easy or hard. Whether it is something that happens whenever conditions permit, or whether we are alone in a universe that almost got there but never quite did.

A small, bright moon, five hundred kilometres wide, has become the most precise instrument humanity has ever had for answering that question. And it is answering it in real time, one grain of ice at a time.
