Prepare for them to find life out there. Extremely slow life given the sheer coldness (Lack of energy) involved. Think about our arrogance. We are unique. I don’t believe it. Or possibly we are.... hot world things dont survive.

Ahhhh hell I have a whole book plot in my head right now.....

NASA has shamed itself with lying agenda-driven “research” and “discoveries” for me to give any credence whatsoever to anything they say there.

frozen ice that once oozed molten ice

"frozen ice" is a pleonasm and "molten ice" is an oxymoron. How about, "ice" and "water"?

Seems like folks are getting hung up on “molten ice”, but it might be the best term. We typically think of matter in the state with which we associate it, water as a liquid or methane as a gas. But on other worlds those standards aren’t true, and the terms used to describe (or modify) them reflect their native state on that world. Unless there are better or more specific terms, “molten ice” might be as good as it gets.
