Interesting to read, but if I am not mistaken, there are other moons that scientists believe are more likely to host life, particularly around Jupiter. My thought is that life could exist just about anywhere, although it may not be life that we recognize. I'd bet that quite a few moons have microbial life.

Europa - indeed. But there's another Saturnian moon which is the most likely - Enceladus. It most likely has a subsurface ocean of liquid water which touches the rocky mantle! Of course, Mars is always a candidate for life.
I think I read something about Europa recently but not about Enceladus. If you have some links send them our way if not then we will do some digging on our own.
As for Mars, apart from the little grey men, I doubt there is life there. We could however bring life to it. And in a few decades already if all goes well ;)
If you have any links to your sources we would be glad to read them. Maybe there is another article there for us to write :)
Certainly! This is a pretty good article - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/excitement-builds-for-the-possibility-of-life-on-enceladus/
Keep writing, by the way! I know right now the audience for science news will be small, but as Steemit grows, so will your audience.
Thank you!
No worries, we will keep on writing in any case :) We wouldn't mind if a whale upvotes us, but if they don't it also won't be a problem. This is our passion project :)
