In today's image, we see the moon of Saturn known as Enceladus. This moon is known to have liquid water below the surface and expels some of this out as ice plumes from its southern polar region. Complex organic molecules have been found in this material which leads us to consider the possibility that there may be some type of simple life that could exist below the surface of this moon. Remember that the presence of organic molecule do not show that life exists here, but only that it could be a possibility.
