Space: extraterrestrial life "very likely" on a moon of Saturn

The data collected by the Cassini spacecraft during three stints in moon called Encelado, between 2010 and 2012, revealed there is a saltwater lake under a blanket of ice and organic molecules, elementary chemical elements to create life.

The bottom of the Lake is Rocky, a fact that may be favorable to the creation of life.

The Lake is located at the South Pole of the Moon and has a size almost equivalent to that of continental Portugal.

The Cassini spacecraft was launched in 2004 and studied the largest natural satellites of the solar system's sixth planet from the Sun.

Saturn has 53 known moons.
