Enceladus!!!

Hey guys hey guys I would like to share with you one of my favorite space facts that I know 

Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, is actually (at least in my opinion) pretty likely to have life on it! The moon is covered in a layer of ice that has a huge ocean of liquid water lying underneath... Not only that, but it's got hotspots on the sea floor that shoot huge plumes of water that are so powerful that they make it to the icy surface and shoot out into space! Though sunlight doesn't really reach Enceladus, the heat from the geysers, oxygen in the water, and phosphorous found recently by scientists make it all a perfect place for small life to flourish. 

Though the thought terrifies me, I like to imagine there's a tremendous sea creature beneath the icy crust :3c
