What If There is Alien Life on Jupiter's Moon Europa?

627 million km (390 million mi) from Earth, underneath the cold seas of Europa, a horrifying, and vastly intelligent creature lurks. Can our human minds even comprehend such an alien creature? It turns out it’s a lot like an octopus. Can there be a life on Europa? Can Europa support life? Would we go looking for it? Why does Europa have a liquid ocean? How far can octopus intelligence go? Can octopuses live on land? And how crazy do we sound right now?

Meanwhile the Aliens : What if Humans invaded Europa?

[lt.bananas]

This might be the most oddly specific what if they’ve made this far.

[titanbhardwaj]

Meanwhile on Europa:-
What if Monke-like aliens inhabit Earth

[ultraviolet]

Who else misread the title as “What if Octopus-like Aliens Inhabit Europe?”

[Travel-]

What if all of a sudden a species of animal started to evolve very fast

[duffusdthea]

These “What if” are getting a bit too specific

[ATRexNamedBull]

The Kraken, we haven't found it because we have been looking in the wrong place.

[wittyboy]

As long as humans doesn't inhabit Europa that moon will live

[thelambsauce]

I had to read the title twice, I thought my suspicions about Europe were being confirmed.

[sonario]

"Because we deal with quarantine so well, right?"

[songyani]

Almost thought it was europe, until my college astronomy classes kicked in

[persistentapparartionkitty]

So if I visit Europa I’ll be sure to bring my pet Octopus so we can communicate with the natives.

[xWTxEVx]

It took me way too long to realize he was talking about the planet, and not the continent.

[claudiaxander]

What if there was intelligent life on earth,
just think of the wonderful things they could achieve!

[yodorob]

While we're on the subject of exploration of Europa and its inner ocean, the depths of our oceans here on Earth still have much more human exploration to go; those are just as alien a world to us, land-bound creatures, and those depths remain even less explored than the Moon!

[alMeraki]

What if : *Octupus like alien* 👾
Me : *I remember Young Sheldon* 😌
