Howard Hughes

Available for over a year

NASA have announced that one of Saturn's moons (Enceladus) may now be the best place for us to look for life in our solar system. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Howard Hughes spoke Dr Catriona Jackman, a Planetary Scientist from the University of Southampton. Dr Catriona Jackman: "It's certainly a huge step forward in our understanding of habitability, so our search of environments in our solar system and beyond that have the ability to support life. "We already knew that Enceladus was pretty interesting - we knew it had geezers and we also knew that it had a sub-surface ocean. "This puts Enceladus top of the list of places where we'd like to go back to."
