This image of Saturn s icy, geologically active moon Enceladus was acquired by NASA s Cassini spacecraft during its October 2015 flyby. Enceladus hides a global ocean of liquid salty water beneath its crust and might also have hydrothermal vents not unlike the hydrothermal vents that dot the ocean floor here on Earth. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute   New research led by the American Museum of Natural History and funded by NASA identifies a process that might have been key in producing the first organic molecules on Earth about 4 billion years ago, before the origin of life. The process, which is similar to what might have occurred in some ancient underwater hydrothermal vents, may also have relevance to the search for life elsewhere in the universe. Details of the study are published this week in the journal
