Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

This “law” doesn’t really hold up, according to that article’s studies section. I wholeheartedly agree that it’s a dirty and gross way to head something; but it was more interesting that the answer appears to more often be “yes”. Problem is there are so few examples of it (comparatively).

That's because it's no longer a journalistic article but an editorial.

How should I know? You're the news website, you tell me.

For every news article that asks a yes/no question, 99% of the time the correct answer is "no, cause then we would tell the news, but this no has a long story about entertaining dead ends"

Based on my knowledge of absolutely nothing since the website asked me, I declare that they found snails

No, no intelligent life in Europe, just like the rest of the earth. /s

You added an extra descriptive word.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Recently, NASA announced that the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered carbon dioxide at a specific location on Europa’s icy surface in a disrupted “chaos terrain” called the Tara Regio.

Jupiter’s gravity stretches and compresses Europa’s icy shell, thus likely generating enough heat to sustain a warm, interior ocean.

The tidal flexing also could cycle water and nutrients between the icy shell, the ocean and the rocky interior, creating conditions for life.

A fiber optic cable would connect the submarine with the Europa Lander on the surface to transmit data and images and to receive commands.

Much of NASA’s attention and resources are being taken up by Project Artemis, which will send astronauts back to the moon and, in the fullness of time, to Mars.

He is published in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Hill, USA Today, the LA Times and the Washington Post, among other venues.


The original article contains 735 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
