Very cool! Those lines look at little like fungal hyphae (not inferring anything - just an observation).

It’s very likely that the subsurface ocean of Europa contains a lot of sulfur, making life within it impossible. Furthermore, whatever life would otherwise exist would be like Earth’s extremophiles, which did not evolve on their own but instead adapted to those conditions. Sorry to be such a Debby Downer.
