- Scientists say there's a place in our solar system outside of Earth that has the chemical make-up to potentially support life. Researchers found that Saturn's sixth largest moon -- Enceladus -- has an ocean that contains phosphorus, which is found in human teeth, bones and DNA. CBS News space consultant Bill Harwood joins from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to discuss what's next for scientists.

the phosphorus in our bones is so fascinating. It's the hardest part of our bone and the only inorganic material in our bodies. So I like to think of it like we're just rock people walking around. Even cooler, the phosphate mineral called apatite makes a hexagonal lattice structure that gives it its strength
That's hella cool! That pattern seems to pop up in nature a lot. Must have benefits.
Water is inorganic and makes up most of our body. What are you talking about?
@@Boristheborateah, organic and inorganic is just a name, although our tissues are made of water it's still organic
@@alexsmith1207 that doesn't make any sense to his initial statement
Interesting i just researched toothpaste and found out that hydroxyapatite is a remineralizing non toxic (apparently) substance in newer toothpaste
Am i the only one thinking Enceladus is even more likely to host life then either Europa or Titan?
We're gonna find the octopuses home planet. We knew you were aliens, you little geniuses
imagine if we spent that 34 trillion military budget on space exploration..we'd be living on mars by now headed towards Saturn but noooooooo... we got weapons to buy ..sheesh
The key point is " life as we know"! people tend to think of aliens as things similar to us or animals on Earth with hands and legs and mouths and they have civilization like us.
Take in mind that evolution is not just random. Like if there is light there will be eyes or other means to develop vision.
I found your comment pretty legit. Do you know of any discussion on this topic in a video or article? @@sandro5535
The correspondents condescending laughter illustrates the hubris that needs to be stripped away when searching for such life.
Amateur astronomers like me have been enamored with the little moon of Enceladus ever since Cassini passed by it showing the amazing shots of spewing geysers and loads of water ice. Even though the Dragofly mission of Titan is a big mission coming soon, Enceladus should be of the utmost importance for nasa in the very near future. Any form of life counts, whether it’s small or large. Enceladus, without question, contains life.
Hey bro that sounds super gay it's like let's go to candy mountain.
@@DAVIDALLEN210 🌈
and what will bacteria do for us? what grand importance will it pose?
How convenient after all the alien talk lol
If there is life there… I think it might be bacteria or something else microscopic
If earth was was probed from 3 billion years ago to 600 million years all that would be found would be single celled organisms.
Yeah that’s exactly what they just said in the video.
Not only life but also pyramids. Not on this moon, I think its titan. Also Pluto
Awesome universe silly to think we’re the only ones
It’s mathematically improbable that we’re the only intelligent life in the universe.
This is argument is fundamentally broken.
Even if it's true, maybe the nearest bacterial life is 10,000 light years away. In which case we're stuffed. Imagine trying to find something under one rock within a 20 mile radius of where you sit. It's not happening any time soon.
Maybe it's ten million lys away. Maybe ten billion and beyond the cosmological horizon.
That does not mean it's a thousandth of a ly away at Saturn. In fact, if we found it so near that would suggest life is ubiquitous and in practically every solar system. In which case, where are the civilisations? Why the deadly silence?
Thinking and knowing are two different things. Yes, probably for you thinking is likely silly.
@@joelyates2404 lol found the hurt pronoun 😅
The only ones no one wants to talk to
Two-legged locusts moving from planet to planet, devouring resources is part of many indigenous mythologies🤔
id throw a bet that we are the locusts lol
You mean blacks?
I never know life to be an ingredient. Oh well, if they say so.😂
How did they found It?
Noted..
i feel ike i hear something about ingredients for life on a moon every other year,
I don’t think making a hole in it would be good
Don't let this distract you to what they do to life in factory farms then.
Keep in mind, even with the right elements, planets have limited windows of opportunity to actually flourish and create life.
Really 😂?
@@theomegaman218 Not really. It was a joke, just for you... :/
@@theomegaman218Nope. It’s just a little joke haha
They key point being made by this whole debate is that we (humans) are looking for evidence of life by using the chemistry of life on earth as a example. That is an incredibly narrow point of view to take and yet we find the ingredients on another world in our own cosmic back yard. Think about that for a second. We are looking for the finger prints of life based solely on the example we know of (earth) and yet it's remarkably simple to discover it. Now expand the perspective so that the definition of life doesn't require the exact same chemistry we find here on earth! By taking off the blinders so to speak we can suddenly see the universe must be teeming with life that most likely doesn't much resemble the examples of life we see on earth. It's not much of a leap of imagination either. All that's required is a cursory understanding of statistical probabilities and a realization that there are enormous quantities of exoplanets out in the universe. In fact I would be more surprised if it turned out that the earth was the only example of life in the universe!
At the same time assuming our section of space, our planet, and our time period is unique in the universe might also be narrow minded
Although I agree with you overall, I do think it makes sense to search for life that may have formed under similar conditions as us since we know for certain that life can form under similar conditions.
Did you even watch the whole video? He literally explains your criticism.
@@AntTonyPony117 they definitely didn't watch the whole video. I hate when commenters have soooo much to say about something when they can't even bother watching the whole video that explains exactly what they are commenting about. 🙄
@@sendaway2794 And I hate it when commenters whine and complain about other commenters. If you don't like my comment you are free to ignore them unless of course you get off on being an internet troll.
Yeah the ingredients only comes from Santas workshop at the North Pole

Interresting,yes.
Cool.
solve wifi problem where it can reach from my house to my garage then talk about something thats billion light years away 😂
Sometimes it's false saying, life exists only in this planet because we haven't surveyed even a quarter of our universe.😅
If we send something there...won't we potentially be the contaminating Alien life?
Possibly yes.
It's one of the same problems we have with finding/detecting life on Mars. There are microscopic critters that can survive space on the trip out there.
@@simul8rduude I realize this, because I am a curious sentient creature on a very ideal planet, AFAIK. :)
It’s a gas giant there’s no where to stand lmao
Yes, if we send a probe down to the ocean of Enceladus. Almost impossible not to contaminate it. On some buried lakes on Antarctica researches have stopped before penetrating the lakes themselves and then studied the ice just above the water in the lake, as the ice should be frozen lake water containing micro-organisms. But on Enceladus that should be done before penetrating the ocean itself, and testing if there's organisms in that ice and how they react with Earth life. But that would mean basically having a manned research station on Enceladus' surface... Before we get there, we will encounter same problem with the possible lakes of liquid water under the south polar ice cap of Mars.
@@daniiv4325 Enceladus is a moon of Saturn, a gas giant. Enceladus has a rock core covered with an ocean, which is itself covered by an ice shell up to 20 kilometers thick, except at the Tiger Stripes at the south pole, where the geysirs erupt.
I wanna hear about the UAP/UFO Whistle blower!!!!
I wonder if it wouldn't be enough to get a spacecraft near to one of the geysers and capture a sample of the water for either local biological analysis or return to Earth.
You would be hard pressed to sample cool water from anywhere on Earth and not find protozoan organisms.
I mean I have the ingredients for a ham and turkey sandwich in my fridge. They’re all there, in one place, and in the perfect situation, they’d end up together and bringing me joy. But alas, even tho they say Life finds a way. My wife, has not. So no ham and turkey sandwiches are currently being made in my house.
😂😂😂
Get yourself some of your own volition. Or as my mother would say, 'You're not really hungry if you're not ready to make it yourself. Go.
Man I yearn for the day when 15 year old losers pay more attention to the contents of these awesome videos than making the same dumb, misogynistic jokes. This hasn’t been funny for 30 years.
😢
Sorry mate. She's not making sandwiches for you because she's been at my place making them for me.
We spend billions creating weapons for mass destruction but alittle fund is pulled towards space missions 😅 this is killing vs learning.
I would love to move to saturn
You can’t live on a gas giant. And If you meant Europa better bring a coat!
I'd rather go down deep into Uranus
@@matthewviramontes3131 yoooo
Which coutry are u from
Me too!!!
Nice
If so I'd like to live there 🤔
Unfortunately, we're not likely to find out in my lifetime. I'm no fan of nuclear fission for earthbound power stations, but we need it for space travel. Chemical rockets are too slow. Fusion would be better, but that's still a pipe dream. As for matter-antimatter reactors (annihilation), forget it.
i assume you must not be the life of the party
Why is he holding some blank paper?
As usual, our mission now is to go there and destroy that too.
I'm just curious on how they done that when no one has ever been to Saturn's moon
There is a satellite there that was able to take a sample of the material that is shot into space from the geysers on the moon.
What if it were physically possible to sleep in sleeping bags on the moon? as if ur like camping there.
Love you goden
i swear i've been hearing the same news over and over again for the last 10 years lol.
there's octopus there
Humans are gonna kick rocks around on Mars for a hundred years while life teems beneath the ice of a Saturnian moon.
Let's send an unmanned probe to the surface of that moon, drill down thru the ice, drop down a camera on a tether & let's see what goes swimming by.
phosperous means there already is lifeforms growing on the planet, or did at one time with only bones left behind
Yeah, lets polute it too
Phosphorus is 1 ingredient.
That is like saying, "I found a cup of flour, so I can bake a cake."
OMG you made me laugh 😃 so hard because it's true!!
the other elements which comprise life are so ubiquitous that finding them elsewhere in space is a given
@@_DESIRER Really? Things like air are found everywhere, in a vacuum? 🤣
The other ingredients for life were already found. Phosphorous was the last one
@@joe.oneill yes actually
H2O in the form of ice is the third most abundant thing in the universe…you DO know what the O in H2O stands for right
King Octopus's garden?
What good is this if there's no air and heat there that's equivalent to Earth?
If conditions are unlivable, why waste time and resources on a planet we can't colonize on?
Unlivable for humans but not other life forms. We ain't looking for a vacation spot. We are looking for life off of Earth whether it be microbial or otherwise. If we find life on other bodies in our solar system it means life may be prevalent throughout the universe.
@FATillery
I still think it's a waste of time an resources. We need to better prioritize our work. If we can't find means to extend ways to sustain ourselves in space, we're going to run out of time when Earth's own resources run out.
We can still marvel about other life forms on other planets that can sustain human life. This just makes our efforts smarter than just going on a high school field trip collecting microbes and bacteria to study.
@@supersquirrel7546 Indeed but, I do not think these efforts are for us to 'sustain ourselves in space'. I think we just want to answer a basic question of whether life is prevalent in our universe. Also, we have the ingenuity to take care of ourselves and our Earth. The question remains, do we have the will.
@FATillery.
That's the problem with humanity. We are stuck in our infantile stage of being obsessed with basic questions. It's like trying to solve the basic question of the existence of God. Total waste of time when we can strive for more complex answers that has a working function. Discoveries that produce means to further our existence should be the primary focus considering, again the limits of our resources AND compounding nature of our problems. Whether there's other life or not in this universe, doesn't change or affect our future unless we find a way it helps us survive and sustain our future.
Besides, if we're not careful, bringing alien microbes and bacteria back to Earth to study may or may not be the death of our planet. It would be an extremely stupid way for us to end our existence in this universe.
@@supersquirrel7546 I wholeheartedly agree, but that is the nature of humanity. Still, we have made discoveries here on Earth that have sustained us and allowed us to grow and develop as a species. Also, I think we have developed to the point with space exploration to be able to analyze such off-world discoveries without returning samples or the crafts that discovered them back to Earth. We may be dumb sometimes but, I do not think we are that stupid.
Looks like news from the future… As I get there structures, bones, bacterias…
Can't even get the Earth in order, lest known another place. They must be smoking.
I would like to provide my input on this matter. The presence of phosphorus on another celestial body is interesting, but by no means does it necessarily indicate the presence of any life. Lone elements found on other celestial bodies do not suggest life, merely that the elements formed there naturally. Please, keep in mind that natural compounds and water do not strongly indicate life. Water is abundant in nature because of its rather simple chemical makeup. It's foolish to assume it means life must be present because of a single element found on another celestial object. Life requires numerous things to flourish properly, and living things are composed of way more than just chemicals that compose DNA; there's a lot to creating life, or to even forming one cell. Enceladus may simply be a lifeless celestial body containing natural compounds. All we can do is go and find out.
in the name of science, we are human look like tiny particle among a solar system and living be part of them
That Moon is still a long way from the Sun -- a Primary ingredient for life here on Earth.
Now there could be Volcanic or other sources of Heat and energy beneath that Ocean. That's a possibility that can't be ruled out.
maybe extremophiles
Ingredients for life? You mean carbon?
Have we really figured out, how we got here? Some manner of "evolutionary processes"? But what is the catalyst? What is the evidence we developed from simple microbes? I think thats pretty far fetched
This is nothing new. In elementary school in the 90s my teacher told us life was possible on a few of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn-Europa, Io, and Ganymede.
You're wrong. We never knew that the ingredients were there. We simply wondered if it were possible based on a few puzzle pieces we had put together. Now we know for certain that it IS possible. Now there is justification to actually prepare for a mission for that sole purpose, which will now happen much sooner than it would have.
We can't even do a repeatable trip to our own moon(239k mi away)or have a base of operation even after 54 yrs of playing space.
And these clowns say hey look phosphorus is on a saturn moon(873 mil mi away).
We can't even establish a base of operations on the bottom of our own ocean and that is less than 10 miles away
So... in other words you don't understand why some of those tasks are more difficult than others?
Has this been triple checked?
Despite of there are many talk about other planets' life form～In the mean time I want to say earth's atmosphere is maybe changing along with phenomenon of volcanic eruption.
And my recent personal experience is :when I travel to other city in steppe area, I sense the oxygen level is higher at certain place, which make body more comfortable especially if you do often do mentally stress study or work.
Hence I realized some cities 's oxygen level although is survivable but not enough for comfort(especially in summer the downtown area's air circulation is not good), which also give people "suffocate "feelling if is stress is big, which lead people to have more anger.
Anyway, ancient people often have migration , and modern people maybe also has the same pattern more.Since current time need much more invention than before, and to find suitable place to comfort brain is a task also,hmm
The next world cycle, the Mayans had it organized in the calendar
😮❤❤❤❤❤ fish people??? On Saturn 🪐’s moon
By the way, there is no life.
They found wifi?
Where is Walter Cronkite he should be reporting this 😊😅😮
That’s where the fish people live,. Don’t duck 🦆 with them
So what they mean is evidence for “physical” life, since other dimensions exist proven by quantum physics
What do you mean with "other dimensions"? So we got our three dimensions and if you want to call time a fourth than that also exists. But I'm not aware of quantum physics proving the existence of any other dimensions. Do you have a link to a video or scientific article?
I have all the ingredients for lasagna but i assure you there is no lasagna here...

Considering you cannot spell the word "bag", I wouldn't hold my breath.
they have aliens and crafts

Wait what umm well umm. Ok so then, that's the just of it so do the just with it. (Just with it.)
If Enceladus was belching out beer instead of phosphorus infused salt water at it's pole geysers, we'd have all the more reason to establish a tourist outpost there immediately.

Lol. I hope you’re being serious because that makes it even funnier
Spacewatch. 😂 Why?
But the right recipe?
we will be in 2500 and they will still be talking about possibilities of life on these moons
Smiled a little. Humans that are alive now will be dead. So...our descendants descendants...maybe.
I go there for vacation
It’s a fertile egg and likely typical for the birth of all life throughout the universe. The question is can we thwart our extinction long enough to connect the dots? Probably not! My money is on the next intelligent specie that will emerge from Earths oceans - Dolphins!
as multiplity a atmosphere like u would set up on another planets could oly made on the moon cause earth has to much degree , composition too , moon has no minerals , no other planet in the solar system has moon maybe.
We can possibly move humanity there then 😊
Or design fish and plants to first populate it and send humans after.

Mars remixes that yet? Off fur is dont you use ai
This all makes me giggle 😃. How do they really 🤔 find this if not landing on the darn thing?
By doing a fly by Enceladus icy particles ejected by the moon’s geysers. That’s how

Not enough information
Sure they do…. Even though all of that is a bunch of lies isn’t it convenient that they would discover something new? I bet it’s 33% water too… or 33 degrees or 33 minutes away or 33 feet wide …. Liars all of them

Why go to another moons of saturn while we already have a titan the 2nd biggest moon in our universe. NASA begins to skeptical proving life on others planeta and in moon😂 why cant be focus to one moon to search life. One in a time
Silly scientist, it’s not in the books😂 Heard the term Wake up😉
