100%, I guarantee it.
fact: the red on the surface of europa is best explained as biofilm from collected masses of microscopic organisms.
>>8845592
Bacteria existed underground since the Archean period so 100 percent chance of microbes.
>>8845592
It looks like stretch marks lol.
>>8845592
We have no idea how likely it is.
We do have reason to suspect that, if there is life elsewhere in our solar system, it's one of the more likely spots.

speculating can be fun
>>8845592
If there are hydrothermal vents, it would be more unlikely that there isn't life. Thermophile's are some of the most ancient. Hopefully we find squids that are capable of speaking english.
