Signs of Water on Saturn's Moon Enceladus

Signs of Water on Saturn's Moon Enceladus

Headline on CNN.com today; what looks to the scientists like an Old Faithful-type geiser spewing liquid water into the "atmosphere" of Enceladus, which immediately freezes on the incomprehensibly cold -300 degree surface.

Everywhere there is water on earth we have found life. We have found strong evidence of it in likely places like Mars and Europa; now in the unlikely place of Enceladus.

Water is all around us in our own middle class solar system in the suburbs of one of a billion other typical galaxies. Life is also all around us in the cosmos and we will find it in our human lifetimes.

-Benjamin Harris
