NASA's Cassini spacecraft has revealed the presence of ammonia on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.
If there is an underground ocean on Enceladus, then ammonia would be vital to it. Ammonia acts as an antifreeze, allowing water to remain liquid at temperatures as low as ?97 degrees Celsius . This is the first time that scientists have found ammonia on an icy satellite of a giant planet.
