The Milky Way's Black Hole Burped 3.5 Million Years Ago

The video discusses the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, which was active 3.5 million years ago, emitting radiation that affected the Magellanic stream. This event helps astronomers understand galaxy evolution. The video then shifts focus to Saturn's moon Enceladus, where data from the Cassini mission suggests the presence of organic molecules in its subsurface ocean, hinting at the potential for life. The findings are based on the detection of smaller, water-soluble molecules, which could form amino acids in hydrothermal environments similar to those on Earth.

What role do hydrothermal vents play in the potential for life in Enceladus's ocean?

How do the findings from Enceladus relate to the formation of amino acids?
