Interesting news for the space-heads out there, NASA may be on the cusp of revealing that Jupiter's moon has a hidden ocean under its surface. An ocean that could sustain life, too.
Scientists reckon if the ocean has been formed they way they have estimated, then alien life is a possibility. They plan to present the findings at a teleconference on Monday.
Europa is thought the to the best place for discovering extra terrestrial life in our entire Solar System for one quite simple reason: the icy shell of it is covering liquid water. If that water is in contact with the rocky mantle at the centre, then that could potentially spark chemical reactions resulting in life.

They plan to present the findings at a teleconference on Monday, showcasing 'images captured by the agency's Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter's icy moon, Europa.'
Did any of you lot ever see that picture someone had that demonstrated what Jupiter would look like if it were as close to us as the Moon is? If not, here you go.
Fucking mad that, innit?
