00:03is there life out in the cosmos well if new readings from saturn's moon enceladus or any
00:08indicator quite possibly the cronian moon is an ice world only around 313 miles in diameter however
00:16it's quite active and now nasa's analysis of data from the cassini probe has revealed that the moon
00:21is literally spewing material out into space via geysers and that material is organic meaning there
00:27could be some sort of biochemistry occurring deep below its frozen surface astrobiologist and lead
00:33researcher jonah peter had this to say about it quote the results presented here indicate that
00:38enceladus is host to a multi-phasic and compositionally diverse chemical environment that is
00:43consistent with a habitable subsurface ocean using statistical modeling from old data from cassini
00:48has revealed new patterns in its data patterns that point to the presence of hydrogen cyanide
00:53acetylene and propylene these are hallmarks of prebiotic chemistry or the type that leads to
00:58the formation of life as we know it that coupled with the growing evidence that underneath enceladus's
01:03frozen exterior lies an active hydrothermal environment this could mean that saturn's moon
01:08might be one of the best places in the solar system to look for extraterrestrial life
