NASA has launched the Europa Clipper spacecraft, aiming to investigate Europa's potential to host life by performing over 40 flybys to gather vital data.
Gina DiBraccio emphasized, 'Europa is one of the most promising places to look for life beyond Earth,' highlighting the moon's potential due to its underground ocean.
Dr. Buratti noted, 'Exploratory missions like this one always uncover something that we could not have imagined,' indicating the thrill of unexpected discoveries during space exploration.
Scientists believe Europa could house a saltwater ocean beneath its icy surface, potentially holding twice as much water as Earth's oceans combined.
