While the Cambridge team favour an ocean scenario, others say the data is suggestive of a gas planet or one with oceans made of magma, not water.

That sounds not very habitable

Well not for us, but who are we to say that all life in the universe has to look like life here (although I do agree that it sounds unlikely)

That sounds beautifully primordial. I think it could have great potential to have formed life as our planet did.
