Possible Oceans on one of Saturn's Moons

Scientists have found its strongest evidence to date that there are oceans underneath the icy surface of Saturn's moon, Enceladus. This discovery and any discoveries of micro-organisms on Enceladus could give scientists an insight into the origins of life in our universe. The saltwater is coming from jets in its southern hemisphere shooting water into the oceans and thousands of miles into space. NASA scientists also added that the water would be less salty than the oceans on Earth and almost close to freezing.
