    But a website with this picture was posted yesterday on slashdot. Here's the link

    This raises interesting ethical questions. If our guesses based on the pictures are right, and there are the building blocks of life down there, do we have any right to interfere with that process? Undoubtably we are going to do something while "studying" this that causes the process to go all wrong (or not happen at all) like a satellite hitting the surface and contaminating the moon, causing these building blocks to not form (flash backs of the last episode of ST:TNG).
