The NASA mission, called Europa Clipper, aims to figure out whether the Jupiter moon and its ocean could support life. It's the largest interplanetary spacecraft NASA has ever built. The probe is about 16 feet tall and, when its vast wings of solar arrays are deployed, 100 feet wide. It weighs three-and-a-half tons.

For the first time, we are sending a spacecraft to explore an alien ocean world—a moon that might host life today

A NASA spacecraft has set sail for Jupiter and its moon Europa, one of the best bets for finding life beyond Earth.

An imposing National Aeronautics and Space Administration probe is due to lift off on Monday on a five-and-a-half-year journey to Europa, one of Jupiter's many moons, to take the first

Galileo Galilei discovered Europa and Jupiter's three other large moons in 1610. The discovery greatly impacted our understanding of the Universe by proving Earth was not the centre of the cosmos.

Scientists are eager to see if Europa's subsurface ocean could support life, as NASA's Europa Clipper is scheduled to begin its journey.

A NASA spacecraft has blasted off on a quest to explore Jupiter's moon Europa and reveal whether its hidden ocean might hold the keys to life

NASA launched a robotic spacecraft named Europa Clipper to Jupiter’s moons. Clipper will reach the ice-covered Jovian moon Europa in 2030 and spend several years collecting and sending valuable data on the moon’s potential habitability back to Earth.
