Titan’s haze may hold ingredients for life, University of Arizona
“In an experiment exploring the chemical processes that might be going on in the hazy atmosphere enshrouding Saturn’s largest moon, a University of Arizona-led team of scientists discovered a variety of complex organic molecules – including amino acids and nucleotide bases, the most important ingredients of life on Earth.”
Water discovered on second asteroid, may be even more common, University of Central Florida
“This discovery suggests that this region of our solar system contains more water ice than anticipated,” said University of Central Florida Professor Humberto Campins. “And it supports the theory that asteroids may have hit Earth and brought our planet its water and the building blocks for life to form and evolve here.”
Enceladus May Keep Oceans Liquid with Wobble, NASA
“Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus should not be one of the most promising places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. Instead, it should have frozen solid billions of years ago. Located in the frigid outer solar system, it’s too far from the sun to have oceans of liquid water — a necessary ingredient for known forms of life — on its surface.”
