Releasing 359 litres of water per second, scientists study Enceladus plumes in the hope of finding alien life

CTOnews.com, June 1 (Xinhua)-- astronomers believe it is possible to find evidence of extraterrestrial life on Enceladus after taking an in-depth look at Enceladus, according to Independent.

Enceladus, also known as Enceladus, is Saturn's sixth largest moon, discovered by William Herschel in 1789. Voyager shows that Enceladus is about 500 kilometers in diameter and its surface reflects almost 100 percent of the sun.

Scientists delved into Enceladus's huge plume and calculated that Enceladus released about 79 gallons of water per second into space, filling a large Olympic swimming pool in just a few hours by creating models.

Scientists believe that Enceladus's environment provides ideal living conditions for extraterrestrials, so they hope to delve deeper into the moon and find key evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The research is published on Nature, and CTOnews.com attaches a PDF download link here, which interested users can click to read.
