Strange News From Another Moon

Thursday, 10th April 1997

Photos from space probe Galileo confirm that under the thick layer of ice on the Jovian moon of Europa there is in fact an ocean. This ocean is warmed by volcanic action at the moon's core. This in turn, almost certainly, means life. Which, extrapolated over millions of years, means... SPACE FISH! Woohoo!

Other space news: a flare of poisonous electromagnetic gas caused by an explosion on the sun is heading this way at 2 million miles an hour and should be hitting the earth sometime this afternoon, knocking out satellites, radios and other such fun stuff. Meh.

It's time to take a moment out, folks, to contemplate your relative size and importance on a cosmic scale, and feel the resurgent knowledge of your mote-like insignificance weather your spirit.

SPACE FISH!!!!!!
