NASA announced the results of a international teams verification of liquid water plumes being ejected from Europa ( a moon of Jupiter). This was first reported in 2012 but by using Hubble they have verified these findings. An amazing year for the search and/or likelihood of alien life. First Glycine (an amino acid necessary for life on Earth) found in a comet's coma now liquid water in our solar system. Yes due to the ferocity these plumes are vapour but the mere fact it ejects this, indicates water under the ice due to the pressure necessary to cause such plumes.
