A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it.

According to current astrobiological concepts, Enceladus thus fulfils the basic requirements for the existence of life. However, the hostile environmental conditions mean that possible organic life ...
