The story I've been told is that it's because all capital letters in the logo would be too aggressive, as per the CEO's wife.

Also, 7-eleven isn't American, it's Japanese.
America also happens to be the only place with bad 7-elevens, as they're pretty great in other countries.

The closest one is around 3000 light-years away. If it were to come towards us at light-speed, it would still take nearly 3000 years to reach us.
We'd know it would hit us before it actually does.

Plus radioactive decay and geothermal activity from the core. I believe Europa's (and Enceladus') ocean has been all but confirmed barring sending a probe there to drill into the ice to reach the ocean...

It's pretty interesting that one can effectively look backwards in time at a rate proportional to the distance across which one looks.

There are plenty of vague ideas about how to drill (or melt or...) though miles of ice to see what the ocean is like, but nothing anybody's spending money on, beyond making fancy 3-d images.

I wish we would stop wasting time on Mars and focus on Europa and Enceladus.

Ideally. There are other places living things might be lurking, at least Titan and Triton have possibilities, and I know there are a few more that people wonder about (possible other subsurface oceans elsewhere). If I wasn't so exhausted now, I'd dig up a list.

I really don't understand the hype over Titan. Has there ever been any evidence discovered that suggests that some form of life could form in and survive in lakes of liquid methane?
