Earth microbes can live in simulated Enceladus conditions
A separate post says ice grains freeze slowly and shatter in Enceladus’s vents, explaining the chemical diversity of its ocean spray.

Smithsonian Magazine says Earth microbes can live in simulated Enceladus conditions and that a heat-loving organism could thrive in the moon’s possible subsurface ocean. Separately, a post says research found that ejected ice grains freeze slowly and shatter inside complex vents, explaining the chemical diversity of Enceladus’s ocean spray.
