http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-to-hold-media-call-on-evidence-of-surprising-activity-on-europa
NASA will host a teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 26, to present new findings from images captured by the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa.
Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa. Participants in the teleconference will be:
Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington
William Sparks, astronomer with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore
Britney Schmidt, assistant professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta
Jennifer Wiseman, senior Hubble project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
To participate by phone, media must contact Dwayne Brown at 202-358-1726 or dwayne.c.brown@nasa.gov and provide their media affiliation no later than noon Monday.
Audio of the teleconference will stream live on NASA’s website at:

I'm sure these have been known about (or at least quite strongly theorised) for a while now. I'm sure I remember someone saying that Europa as the most lily place to find life. Therefore I'm going to say they have found moon whales. It's the only logical answer.

Wait, so is this more or less important than time christals?
On one side, water is a threat, on the other time cristals could be used to create the ultimate weapon to destroy the water threat.

Why not assume bit more sensible? Likely just confirmation of the water. No need to bring in little grey men into the picture.

Why waste time pondering about grey men when one could wonder what it it REALLY means? You know you don't need grey aliens for this to be important thing...
Lots of silly posts in this thread, not one that would actually concern what it could really be and mean. In other words boring thread.

I think our best bet for finding extraterrestrial microbial life is Saturn's moon Enceladus (not to be confused with enchiladas, which also may support colonies of hostile microbial life). Enceladus is superficially similar to Europa, however, it is smaller, and has active plumes of water vapour erupting from the surface. This would be much easier to investigate than the water on Europa, which is possibly buried under 200 km of granite-hard ice.

Yeah, or put more money into the Space bridge at least. I mean there is still a lot of work to do on it and were probably about 30 years out until we can get something even remotely workable but it's by far out best bet.

They could have at least mentioned where this finding is specifically located. Is the subsurface ocean below France? Germany? Is it connected to the Mediterranean? It shall be an interesting report indeed.
