NASA's Europa Clipper starts its trip to explore the secrets of Jupiter's ocean moon.
Reading
A NASA spacecraft, Europa Clipper, has begun its journey to Jupiter's moon Europa. The mission will take 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter and will study Europa's hidden ocean.
Scientists believe that Europa's ocean may hold the key to life beyond Earth. While Europa Clipper won't search for life directly, it will investigate the conditions necessary for it.
The spacecraft will examine the composition of Europa's ocean, searching for organic compounds. It will also use radar to peer beneath the moon's icy shell, measuring the depth of the ocean.
The journey to Europa will be challenging, with intense radiation from Jupiter posing a threat to the spacecraft. However, NASA is confident that Europa Clipper can withstand these conditions.
If Europa is found to have the potential for life, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It would suggest that life could exist in many other places beyond Earth.
