Some new and surprising news from Cassini.

They've found that the geysers are releasing organic materials similar to that from comets!

"The Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer saw a much higher density of volatile gases, water vapor, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as organic materials, some 20 times denser than expected."

Cassini is without doubt one of the greatest space exploration missions of our time.
