The Cassini spacecraft was recently steered into the icy plumes that emanate from Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. The icy plumes were only discovered in 2005 and was a surprise to many scientists who did not expect to find activity on a moon so far from the Sun.
A surprising thing was discovered when the Cassini spacecraft was steered through the moons icy plumes. There were many organic compounds found within the material being ejected from the moons surface. Basically the moon is ideal to have life on the surface, or someplace within the Saturn system.
Enceladus has the conditions needed for life to exist and this is the first time that such favorable life supporting conditions have been found outside of our own planet. Truly a remarkable discovery and something that will definitely need to be looked into further.
An amazing find, hopefully we'll see more come of this in the near future.
Godspeed
