However, a new study on the phenomenon conducted by Princeton University researchers is creating considerable interest within the scientific community and raising questions about the possible effects of fossil fuel usage, according to a report from Gizmodo. “We did this analysis more out of interest ..>> view originalIs There Alien Life On Europa?
