This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, the researchers said. They stressed, however, that they are not announcing the discovery of actual living organisms but rather a possible biosignature - an indicator of a biological process - and that the findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed.

Researchers that have had the media blow their findings out of proportion and take their words out of context one too many times.

This is exciting enough on it’s own without the “help” of overzealous reporters making click-bait headlines and misleading people.
