Finding no evidence of life in Enceladus’s ocean could be almost as scientifically important as finding it — because a world with liquid water, internal heat, phosphorus and complex organic chemistry but no detectable biology would suggest that the ingredients for life are far easier to assemble than life itself
Most missions searching for extraterrestrial life are imagined as quests for a positive result: a cell, a biological…

Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system, with hundreds of active volcanoes that can shoot sulphur plumes more than 500 kilometres above its surface — a landscape so extreme that early Voyager scientists initially mistook the plume images for camera errors
When Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter in March 1979, scientists expected its moon Io to be cold, battered…
