Newly Found Organics in Enceladus’ Plumes

Handout photo to illustrate : Newly Found Organics in Enceladus’ Plumes. NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured dramatic plumes, both large and small, spray water ice out from many locations along the famed 'tiger stripes' near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Dramatic plumes, both large and small, spray water ice out from many locations along the famed tiger stripes near the south pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus in this image released on Feb. 23, 2010. A study published in October 2025 analyzed data from NASA’s Cassini mission and found evidence of previously undetected organic compounds in a plume of ice particles like the ones seen here. The ice particles were ejected from the ocean that lies under Enceladus’ frozen shell. Researchers spotted not only molecules they’ve found before but also new ones that lay a potential path to chemical or biochemical activity.

Wetlands Guard Bird Species from Plateau to Urban Landscape - China

Black-necked cranes are seen at a reservoir in Lhunzhub County of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Feb. 20, 2025. As an important part of the world's ecosystem, wetland plays a huge role in many aspects including ecology, environment, economy and society. Known as an extra lung for Londoners, the London Wetland Centre is an urban ecological paradise transformed from industrial wasteland on the banks of the River Thames. The site was formerly four reservoirs operated by the Thames Water Company, which supplied drinking water to the southwest of London. The London Wetland Centre began construction in 1995 and was completed and opened to the public in 2000. Visitors to the centre can observe numerous endangered bird species, with over 200 species observed and recorded in the area, embodying a harmonious balance between urban life and nature.
