Europa, Jupiter and NASA
Why NASA is sending the Europa Clipper to search for aliens near Jupiter
NASA's Europa Clipper will take off on a long journey to Jupiter's moon Europa. The icy moon could potentially host alien life — and there's only one way to find out.
NASA is launching a major mission to look for habitable spots on Jupiter's moon Europa
