The question of life beyond Earth has fascinated scientists for years. Recent discoveries regarding Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, suggests that just maybe this fascination will become reality. Recent findings have encouraged NASA to move forward with the development of the Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor, or EELS. EELS is a snakelike robot that is being developed with the hopes that it could one day crawl into Enceladus’s crust to find more signs of life.

In early November scientists at NASA discovered a record breaking black hole. The cosmic body in question is the largest and oldest of its kind. Scientists have determined that the black hole formed just 47 million years after the universe formed. Given that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, the black hole is around 13.2 billion years old.
