Scientists find new evidence from Enceladus that humans can inhabit. They find new evidence that Enceladus will become a second Earth. Enceladus himself is not actually a planet, but a moon.
However, this moon is large enough to resemble a planet. The idea that the moon Enceladus can be inhabited by humans has long existed.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much evidence yet to support this view. Since then, this month has been the subject of research by scientists.

New evidence Enceladus becomes a habitable place
A new study uncovers a long-standing mystery. The study revealed that Enceladus has the potential to become a human habitation.
Enceladus is one of the moons orbiting the planet Saturn. This month has long been the subject of research by scientists.
Now researchers have discovered that the marine area of Enceladus may contain marine phosphorus.

Marine phosphorus detected after 5 elements of life
The new evidence scientists have found from this study is the fact that there is marine phosphorus material in the ocean region of the moon Enceladus. You must know that marine phosphorus is a very important element of life.
Unfortunately, marine phosphorus has so far only been detected on Earth. Enceladus, the second moon orbiting Saturn, has a thick shell of ice in the middle of a subglacial ocean.
The ice forms lumps. In previous research, scientists have revealed that this moon contains the five basic elements of life, namely carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen, but without phosphorus.
In the absence of this phosphorus, Enceladus is considered uninhabitable for humans by the international scientific community.
However, phosphorus is actually new evidence that Enceladus can be inhabited by humans. This phosphorus element managed to prove that an international research team led by a number of Chinese scientists.
In the study, the researchers created a model of seawater-rock interactions to simulate the geochemistry of Enceladus’s rocky bottom.
The lead researcher of the China University of Science and Technology said that seawater on the moon Enceladus has a high alkaline content.
Hence, the water is very salty and does not contain oxygen, more like the sparkling water that people often drink on Earth.

Already 100,000 years
Interestingly, the time for the dissolution of phosphorus in these Enceladus rocks is not short. Marine phosphorus takes about 100,000 years.
Hao explained that it is possible that a sea of liquid water has existed for more than 100 million years in this month of Enceladus. Given the potential for its long history, the rocks on this planet they expect will release large amounts of phosphorus into the oceans.
Although this phosphorus has not been explicitly detected, the research provides a reference for scientists for future exploration as new evidence that Enceladus has the potential for life for living things. (R10 / HR-Online)
