LIFE on Jupiter Moon? NASA to Announce 'Surprising Activity'...

Lol, no.

Are we alone in the universe? NASA is not yet ready to answer that as the agency recently denied that the press conference concerning Jupiter's moon Europa, scheduled on Monday, Sept. 26, is "not about aliens."

NASA announced in a media advisory that it would be conducting a press conference regarding Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Europa is believed to hold huge oceans underneath its surface. If there are indeed liquid water on the satellite, then the possibility of finding some sort of microorganism or any other life-form is viable.

In the advisory, NASA said it will conduct a teleconference announcing the findings of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope about the Jovian moon, Europa. The astronomers that will discuss the "surprising findings are 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 and Jennifer Wiseman, senior Hubble project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; a full house of experts that can only mean that the agency is dropping something big. But not as big as extra-terrestrials.

NASA's Europa Announcement Definitely 'NOT About Aliens'

Given it's about HST findings, look for conclusions about it's atmosphere, I'd guess.

Is this something new we've never heard before? No. Does it seem a lot like click bait? Yes.

"This ocean is deep enough to cover the whole surface of Europa and contains more liquid water than all of Earth's oceans combined. However, being far from the sun, the ocean surface is completely frozen. Most scientists think this ice crust is tens of miles thick." - Nov 16, 2011 | New Evidence for Liquid Water on Europa | Science Mission Directorate
