Add another moon to the list of objects in solar system that could have liquid water.
QuoteAn ocean at least as large as Lake Superior lies below a thick layer of ice on a moon of Saturn, new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests.
The results, published in the journal Science, support earlier signs that this small moon has liquid water. That means Saturn's sixth-largest moon could have been -- or could now be -- hospitable to life.

It seems to me that one of the new Cosmos episodes mentioned this. It's amazing stuff. I don't know about Saturn's moons, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts, there's lots of life in the universe.

The more we learn the more likely this seems to be. To me at least. Sure would be nice if we could find some solid evidence of life somewhere other than Earth before my time on our little rock passes.
With some 12 billion near Earth sized planets in the Universe it would be very odd if a few of them didn't have life.
