Fresh ice grains erupting from Enceladus's global ocean, sampled by Cassini, reveal complex organic compounds and surprisingly high orthophosphate levels. The alkaline, hydrothermally active ocean can leach phosphorus from rock, delivering the six essential elements and lipid-like molecules—boosting the lipid-first path for life's origins.
