The potential for life within Enceladus after Cassini

Planetary scientist Dr. Jonathan Lunine of Cornell University discusses the Cassini mission’s exploration of Enceladus and what that moon has taught us about ocean worlds in the outer solar system. Dr. Lunine stresses that Enceladus is the best candidate world at which life may exist beyond Earth in our solar system. This was the third presentation in the Lunar and Planetary Institute’s 2017–2018 Cosmic Exploration Speaker Series, “Diving into Ocean Worlds.”
