NASA just sent a spacecraft to one of the most likely places for us to find life beyond Earth: Jupiter’s moon, Europa. Launched on Oct 14, Europa Clipper is now on a 1.8 billion mile (2.9 billion km) journey to Jupiter, where it’ll arrive in 2030 to study Europa’s icy surface, subsurface saltwater ocean, and its composition and geology.
