Cassini Reanalysis Finds Oxygen- and Nitrogen-Bearing Amines in Enceladus Plumes, Hinting at Amino Acid Precursors
To the point
Nozair Khawaja and colleagues reanalyzed Cassini data and found amines in Enceladus’ plumes that could condense on ice grains from a subsurface ocean and act as precursors to amino acids, suggesting Enceladus may host life-supporting chemistry.
