Saturn moon, supersonic plumes of gas and dust found by the astronomer that there is liquid water, which is a key element of life found in it. The research says that Saturn moon is one of the solar system’s most compelling places for potential life.

By using images from NASA’s Cassini probe, astronomers found that the mysterious plumes shooting from Enceladus’ icy terrain contain water vapor and suggested that the gas and dust spew at speeds faster-than-sound make the case for liquid, said study lead author Candice Hansen of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in California. They have calculated that the plumes travel more than 1,360 mph.

The Scientist, Andrew Ingersoll at the California Institute of Technology, said the research is good, but that it is possible to achieve such speeds with ice particles and at cooler temperatures only but could not proved completely and still the research is going on.
