But it's still dark and cold

 

Recent analysis of data collected by the Cassini probe to Saturn indicated that the stuff spewing out of the Enceladian geysers has got the brew that might give rise to, or nurture, life of some kind.

However, I'm not sure if there's enough tidal squeezing energy input to power the ecosystem, however primitive it might be. 

Still, it's a start. Life has to start somewhere, and then find a way.

Seems like I've heard that somewhere before.

Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Has Complex, Life-Friendly Chemistry

A fresh analysis of old data has found rich organic chemistry within the hidden ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus

"Now scientists revisiting data from Cassini, which ended its mission to Saturn in 2017, have spied even more tantalizing ingredients in the plumes: suites of complex organic molecules that, on Earth, are involved in the chemistry associated with even bigger compounds considered essential for biology. The discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, bolsters the case for follow-up missions to search for signs of life within this enigmatic moon.

Its remoteness from Earth isn’t the only thing that has let Enceladus keep so many secrets for so long. The Cassini orbiter wasn’t really designed for deep scrutiny of a single, specific object in Saturn’s system, says Nozair Khawaja, a planetary scientist at the Free University of Berlin, who led the Nature Astronomy study. Cassini launched nearly 30 years ago, back when Enceladus’s subsurface ocean and south polar plumes were unknown. Repurposing its vintage kit for in-depth astrobiology was difficult—not least because of how hard the resulting data were to work with."

Read the whole thing. It's a fascinating story about how they were able to use instrumentation not designed to do what they needed it to do along with some clever mission planning to get what they needed to get.
