Also, NASA has already said that this won't be about alien life.

I suspect it will be an incremental discovery concerning Europa's likely oceanic environment. After all, this came from Hubble, and Jupiter is a long ways from here. It's got to be something detectable from here. That rules out aliens. As NASA said very clearly.

Nevertheless, the headline writers love them some hyperbole. PSHAW!
