The Sol System is abuzz after a Binary Helix research outpost found life on Jupiter’s moon of Europa. Scientists on the Nautilus Facility, a station built underneath Europa’s vast ice sheets, discovered microorganisms inside a rock sample taken from the moon’s ocean floor. “Life is tenacious,” says head researcher Dr. Zsuzsa Gaul. “Scientists have theorized for decades that Europa could sustain an underwater ecology. It’s incredible to be at the vindication of some of the field’s earliest xenobiological hopes.” Dr. Gaul hoped to find even more sophisticated life as her team sends more probes to explore the site where the microorganisms were found.
