<p>Hi Andrew,</p><p>Fantastic news indeed. Although Hotei has been Hot topic for some time...</p><p>As the decision beetween EJSM and TSSM approaches (in January normally), the war of the papers is raging between pro-Jupiter and pro-Saturn scientists.</p><p>C. Porco has written a 7-page long article in Scientific American about Enceladus, discussing in her conclusion the merits of TSSM versus EJSM. See too her intervention on NASA' site http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/media/cassini-20081215.html</p><p>On Europa's side, see my thread about this new type of tidal excitation studied... http://www.space.com/common/community/forums/?plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3ac7921f8b-94ec-454a-9715-3770aac6e2caForum%3ad148ee4c-9f4c-47f9-aa95-7a42941583c6Discussion%3aed91af3b-7997-43dd-9ae5-40cde72c60eb&plckCategoryCurrentPage=0</p><p>http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v456/n7223/abs/nature07571.html</p><p>I just hope that these papers are not announced with too much hurry. Note that all point to subglacial bodies of water more active than foreseen.</p><p>Best regards.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
