Gargantuan Geyser on Saturn's Moon Discovered by James Webb Telescope, Blasting Life-Containing Water into Space

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a massive plume of watery vapor on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, which likely contains many of the chemical ingredients for life. The plume shoots much farther into space than previously realized, and scientists believe it comes from hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor beneath Enceladus' frozen crust. Future missions, such as the proposed Enceladus Orbilander and Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor, aim to seek out signs of life on the moon.
