Sensationalist.

From the article:

>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.

Suggest the submission title be changed to something like "NASA to Hold Media Call on Evidence of Surprising Activity on Europa" which is what NASA's media page[0] titles it.

Yes, this is wildly overblown.

Even better would be to wait for the actual press release.

Hasn't it been accepted as pretty much fact that Europa has a huge ocean for a while now?
