London, Nov 4 : A new study has indicated that the Cassini probe may have already collected data that could reveal the presence of life on Saturn’s moon Enceladus, in the form of an underground ocean capable of sustaining life.

Researchers have been fascinated with Enceladus since July 2005, when Cassini revealed a dramatic plume of ice particles and water vapour shooting out from the moon’s south pole.

The plume’s origin is still being debated, but some models suggest the moon holds an ocean of liquid water beneath its surface. This ocean could be a potential habitat for extraterrestrial life.
