It's probably something related to the NASA led Cassini-Huygens missions which discovered a thin oxygen and carbon dioxide atmosphere on Saturn's moon Rhea. Still interesting none the less.

From what I gathered it's an organism which does not need phosphorous rather can use arsenic. While exciting not really surprising. Organism constantly change to live under extreme conditions (high heat, no o2, ect). However, from a biomed engineering view point very interesting since phosphorous demand is up for use in fertilizer. Definitely going to read the paper after finals next week!
