Scientists Find Building Blocks Of Life On Saturn's Moon Enceladus!
Показать описание
The moons of Saturn have been known to hold many secrets, and one of them seems to be the building blocks of life! But what does it mean? Join me as we explore what we found on the moon known as Enceladus.
8. What Was Found On Enceladus
Before we talk about the compounds of life that were found on there, we need to talk a little about Enceladus itself and where the compounds were found. Because while Enceladus looks like just another icy moon on the surface, scientists have proven that there is an ocean of sorts beneath the surface. It's not an ocean like we think of our world, but it is an ocean of liquid, and it's beneath the crust of the moon.
It was within these plumes that the "building blocks of life were found". But what exactly does that mean? Well, like they stated, it's PART of what makes life possible. It's NOT full-on life, because if they found life on any scale on Enceladus I promise you this list would be about a whole other topic and we'd be even more excited for what they found.
7. "The Building Blocks Of Life"
Ok, we'll stop beating around the bush, "What exactly did they find?" That would be organic compounds. Again, don't get the wrong idea, this isn't life, but it's one of the things that make life possible. How so? Well, these compounds have things like Nitrogen and Oxygen in them, which can lead to the creation of Amino Acids...which can lead to proteins...which are essential for life to exist. These organic compounds were found within the plumes shot out by the planet, confirming many theories about whether Enceladus might have had life within it or on it at one time.
To clarify, people haven't stated that Enceladus had life, but rather, they felt that with this water and the ocean it's within, it had the POTENTIAL for life.
6. The Similarities Between Enceladus and Earth
Ok, before we talk about colonizing Enceladus, I'm sure some of you are still confused about why these organic compounds are getting such buzz from scientists. I mean, they're just compounds of life, they still have to work their magic to become life, right? Exactly right, emphatically right in fact. But that's just it, this kind of thing has been seen before, and it's from a place you're familiar with...Earth. And no, I'm not talking about the birth of all life on Earth, but something a bit more recent and close to home. Mainly, the birth of life in hydrothermal vents.
5. The Advancements Of The Compounds
Another reason that scientists are so excited about what they found on Enceladus is that there was a point where they believed that the organic compounds wouldn't be able to become anything. Remember when I said they had found these compounds on the surface of the moon before? Well that was true, but their analysis stated that the ones they found were NOT water soluble, which means that if they could dissolve in the water, they wouldn't be able to mix with the vents that made the geysers...and then wouldn't potentially make life like there is in our oceans.
But now, that's changed, new compounds have been found, they are water soluble, and that means they could be like the ones we find on Earth, which means a lot of interesting things to a lot of people.
"Here we are finding smaller and soluble organic building blocks – potential precursors for amino acids and other ingredients required for life on Earth," Jon Hillier, another co-author of the study said in a statement.
If you're curious as to when and how we got the data which showed these organic compounds existing, that would be the Cassini Space Probe.
4. So What Now With Enceladus?
That is the question, isn't it? What do we do with a moon that we now believe holds the power of life within it? It's not the easiest of questions to answer, but I'll do my best. First and foremost, the teams at NASA and other agencies are going to study the data and see what else can be found. It was the recent study that determined what was being found in the water plumes, so imagine what can be found in a few more looks over the data?
3. Humanity On Enceladus?
As noted earlier, there are some who are already drooling over the fact that the moon Enceladus not only could have life on it, but also be a place where humanity could live on. At present, this is a bit of a stretch because the moon has an icy layer to it. But, if the ocean of water underneath the moons icy crust is everything that we hope it to be, then the options are there.
