The article that's on the marquee on Yahoo! tonight talks about Europa, and her Mt. Everest size geysers and potential for life. Right on the heels of the announcement from Mars that there's evidence of microbial life, now our scientists are bandwagoning it, throwing their arms up and yelling "Fuck It! If it's on Mars it's everywhere!" Safe to say, I don't think the general public will fall into a panic, it's safe now, scientists.
The one thing the article doesn't admit is that sci-fi writers have had this notion on lockdown for the last 50 years. No crying over spilled milk but Arthur C. Clark's information was far more poetic and hopeful than these ridiculous news pies.
Too little, too late. True readers have known and speculated on this crap for so long that I'm embarrassed to read some of your thoughts on the matter.

Future observations will hopefully confirm this discovery and help define the size, density, composition and timing of Europa's plumes, Roth said. Analyzing the composition of these plumes will allow researchers to scan the makeup of the moon's interior "without landing on Europa and drilling into the ground," Roth said.
