Scientists urged "caution" after the discovery of the organic compounds of Enceladus, discovered by the British scientist William Herschel.
The British astronomer William Herschel discovered Enceladus in 1789, using the largest telescope in the world, with a width of 1.2 meters.
According to Sky News, the Cassini spacecraft carried out research on the moon, sampling samples of water on the surface of Enceladus.
The scientists found that water samples contained carbon, a chemical element necessary for life.
The scientists, who conducted the research and belong to Imperial College London, presented their findings Tuesday at the University of Hull.
Earlier this year, scientists discovered that the Enceladus moon contains almost all components supporting microbial life.
