Enough Sulfur and Iron for Potential Life Make Enceladus’s Ocean Fully Habitable
The Cassini spacecraft revealed life-forming elements like CHNOP and diverse organic compounds from Enceladus’s ocean. However, the availability of minor but bio-essential nutrients such as iron and sulfur remains unknown. Here, we perform geochemical modeling to explore their chemistry in Enceladus...
