Summary A new study on Enceladus, Saturn’s intriguing moon, highlights a puzzling challenge in the search for extraterrestrial life. It appears that the ocean beneath Enceladus’s icy surface is stratified in such a way that it might trap and slow the movement of vital chemical signatures indicative of life. Water vapor plumes from Enceladus’ south pole give insights into its subsurface ocean, a key area in the search for life. However, it’s unclear how well these plumes represent the deep ocean conditions due to unknown ocean layers that may hinder matter from reaching the surface.
