Beyond Earth, Jupiter’s moon Europa is considered one of the most promising currently habitable environments in our solar system. Below Europa’s icy surface, evidence suggests there is a global ocean with more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. Europa could have all the “ingredients” needed for life as we know it. On October 14, 2024, NASA launched this exciting flagship mission to start its journey. 

Join us to get an overview of Europa and its “ingredients” for life, why it's a flagship mission, and how Europa Clipper will study the habitability of Europa.

Registration is required.
