Life on Saturn? ... well, not quite
Just a quick post to let all of you out in cyberspace know that scientists think they may have found the conditions for life in outerspace. The NASA Cassini spacecraft found evidence that one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, may have a supply of good 'ol liquid H2O right below its surface. Apparently, geysers are spurting water from the moon's southern pole out into space, much of which returns to the moon in the form of snow. They haven't, of course, found any evidence of life there yet, but it's kinda of cool to think that the conditions may be right to support some type of living organism that's not unlike organisms found on Earth in areas of similar conditions. There aren't any people-like beings hanging out on one of Saturn's moons watching old episodes of Dr. Phil on their iPods or anything, but the thought of life in any form is kind of exciting, if you ask me. Check out the article for yourself.
