    Tweet's kinda misleading. Scientists found sodium phosphates in ice particles in Saturn's E-ring, which is mostly composed of water ejected from Enceladus' ocean. We still don't have direct confirmation of phosphorus compounds in that ocean, and the relevant study points out that the phosphates in the ocean, if they're there, are probably unevenly distributed.
