This seems to hint at something momentous. Ganymede hasn't been breaking news very often since the Galileo mission ended, so what's the announcement?

I would think that HST observations of Ganymede could only be worthy of a teleconference if it's one of these:

1) The existence of plumes/geysers as were observed at Europa.
2) Something interesting detected in Ganymede's very-thin atmosphere.
3) Something interesting deposited in the ices on the surface.

One of the speakers, Joachim Saur, has had publications regarding Ganymede's surface, aurorae at Io, Enceladus, and was on the paper announcing plumes at Europa.

Maybe we've got another Galilean with a buried ocean that sprays its contents skyward?
