NASA has called a press conference on Monday when the space agency will announce a breakthrough on the planet Europa.
The US group sent out a cryptic message, stating that there is “surprising activity” on Europa – the most well known of Jupiter’s 67 moons.
NASA has been analysing data from its Hubble Space Telescope which is currently prowling the universe.
The space experts said in a statement announcing the event on Monday, to be broadcast live at 7PM UK time: “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.”
Most scientists agree that where there is water, it massively increases the chances of finding life.
Europa has long been touted as a possible host of life elsewhere in the Solar System, and even boffins working on the Juno Probe, which is currently in orbit around Jupiter, believe that it could be a likely habitable zone for some lifeforms.

Watch next week. If it's impressive, Bammy will find a way to take credit for it. Just like that buffoon slick willie claimed credit for the human genome map.

I’m ok if they don’t find anything, we need to keep exploring regardless.

Is there LIFE on Europa? NASA to announce major news I don't even bat an eye at these stories anymore. They've pulled this dozens of times with Mars, some huge "mystery" announcement the media blows up into OMG they've found aliens!!! Then when the announcement is made it's something like, "We may have found evidence of some trace molecule which can be a sign of life, but it can also be created by non-life geological processes as well, so with another 20 years and $20 billion in missions we can nail down whether it may or may not be important."

Relax, it was only an intercepted message to Hillary’s campaign HQ. It was released by wikileaks, it was; ““You see? You see?! You Earth people are stupid! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!”
