Organic compounds have been found on Saturn‘s moon Enceladus

Before NASA‘s Cassini mission studied Saturn and its moons for 13 years, beginning in 2004, Enceladus held many secrets. Cassini revealed that there was a global ocean between the moon‘s icy crust and its rocky core.

Although the Cassini mission ended in a blaze of glory when it disintegrated in Saturn‘s atmosphere, surprises from the data it collected will be released for years to come.
