Ocean discovered on Enceladus may be best place to look for alien life
Evidence from Cassini spacecraft suggests a large body of liquid water beneath the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus

David Stevenson, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said the body of water was so large it "may extend halfway or more towards the equator in every direction. It might even extend all the way to the north."

The presence of a saltwater ocean a billion kilometres from Earth more than satisfies Nasa's long-held mantra of "follow the water" to find signs of alien life, but water is not the only factor that makes Enceladus such a promising habitat. The water is in contact with the moon's rocky core, so elements useful for life, such as phosphorus, sulfur and potassium, will leach into the ocean.

There's certainly life on Eceladus, probably even more inteligent life forms than us.
