Organic Molecules Discovered On Saturn's Moon

Discovery of Organic Molecules Scientists recently confirmed the presence of complex organic molecules in the icy plumes of Enceladus, the sixth largest moon of Saturn. These molecules, some of which are considered precursors to amino acids, the harbingers of life, were detected in ice particles ejected from fissures near the moon’s south pole. This suggests that the moon has the chemical ingredients necessary to support intelligent life. Why Organic Molecules Support Life Organic molecules are
