The James Webb telescope was able to see how Saturn's moon Enceladus throws a giant geyser of water vapor into space. And, probably, this geyser contains many chemical elements that can be the " com.

It is noted that astronomers are observing geysers on Enceladus, but this is the first attempt to observe them using the super-powerful James Webb telescope.. And these observations showed that jets of water go into space much further than previously thought.. In fact, they extend much further than the depth of Enceladus itself (the diameter of the celestial body is 504 kilometers).

Scientists became aware of Enceladus' watery emissions in 2005 when the Cassini spacecraft was able to capture tiny particles that erupted from cracks in the celestial body known as tiger stripes.. According to NASA, these ejections are so powerful that the ejected material forms one of Saturn's rings..

The analysis showed that geysers contain methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia - organic molecules that are necessary for the development of life.. It is also possible that these elements themselves were produced by life forms that live deep below the surface of Enceladus..

Another piece of evidence for the possible existence of water on Saturn's moon is the presence of water.. Enceladus is completely covered in a thick layer of water ice, but measurements of the satellite's rotation show that a vast ocean is hidden under this ice crust.. Scientists believe that the water flows discovered by " This hypothesis is supported by the presence of silica, a common ingredient in planetary crusts, in vapor plumes..

Previously, " The device found here turbulent clouds of silicates, similar to sand on Earth.
