№ 116/2026 from Sep 25, 2026 Planetary scientists from Freie Universität Berlin have published two new studies in Science Advances with promising discoveries about the potential for life on one of Saturn’s icy moons. New evidence indicates that Enceladus might be more supportive of life than once assumed. In fact, spacecrafts already in planning could be used to identify evidence of life there much easier than previously thought, should it exist.

Professor Frank Postberg, planetary scientist at Freie Universität Berlin, has just published a study in Science Advances with a team of international researchers, in which they present new evidence that it is easier to determine the constituents of the ocean hidden under Enceladus’s icy surface than previously assumed.…
