This article seems written to sound as spectacular as possible while hiding anything that might lead to real understanding.

"Habitable" makes it sound like we could move there and live there without too much trouble. That's not true. What has been discovered is that microorganisms might be able to live there, near hydrothermic vents that seem to create free hydrogen, which could support primitive life. That life could be similar to life living around hydrothermic vents on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. No sign of life itself, though, just a process that could theoretically sustain life without requiring sunlight.
