Large amount of water found on Enceladus


Enceladus, there is a large amount of water in liquid state. It is hidden under the ice. Aastronomers studying the recent data obtained using the apparatus Cassini, who studied geysers satellite in 2008. Apparatus able to identify the presence of negatively charged ions of water, which may indicate the presence of a water ocean beneath the surface of Enceladus. On Earth, negative ions are short, they appear when moving large quantities of water, for example, waterfalls, or impinging on the shore of ocean waves. Previously, negative ions were found only on our planet, Titan, and comets. The presence of water on Enceladus suggests the possible existence of life on it, scientists say. As we have previously reported that the water in one form or another is present on all the planets and many satellites of the solar system. The Moon is quite a bit of water on Mars, it is most concentrated at the poles in the form of ice. Water availability is a very important aspect for the emergence of life. Therefore, it is possible that some form of extraterrestrial life is even on the planets of our solar system, or in the future there might appear.
