CICLOPS article on Enceladus' plume: http://ciclops.org
Composition of plumes compared to comets: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10357 And the INMS spectrum showing simple and "complex" organics (their definition of "complex" is very different than mine - we're not talking teterodotoxin here): http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10356 (Dalton = amu; benzene is about m.w. 78) From CICLOPS cpcomments: "Also, it is now unambiguous that the jets emerging from the south polar fractures contain organic materials heavier than simple methane -- acetylene, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, propane, etc." -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
