Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon, is known for its geysers that erupt with water from a subsurface ocean.
Scientists have just detected phosphorus—an uncommon element that's a key building block for life—in the plumes that these geysers spray: go.nasa.gov/43FVtY1

Why is Venus so hot?
The planet’s thick CO2-filled atmosphere is great at trapping heat. This creates a runaway greenhouse effect that makes Venus roughly 700°F (389°C) hotter than it would be otherwise. @NASAJPL's Dr. Amy Hofmann gives us the details: go.nasa.gov/42FxR4v
