Europa Clipper (previously known as Europa Multiple Flyby Mission) is a space probe developed by NASA to study Europa, a Galilean moon of Jupiter. It was launched on October 14, 2024. [ 15 ] The spacecraft will use gravity assists from Mars on March 1, 2025, [ 10 ] and Earth on December 3, 2026, [ 11 ] before arriving at Europa in April 2030 ...

Planetary habitability in the Solar System is the study that searches the possible existence of past or present extraterrestrial life in those celestial bodies. As exoplanets are too far away and can only be studied by indirect means, the celestial bodies in the Solar System allow for a much more detailed study: direct telescope observation, space probes, rovers and even human spaceflight.
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA's Europa Clipper space probe launches from Kennedy Space Center on Oct. 14, 2024, on a mission to orbit Jupiter and study its icy moon, Europa, for signs ...
Using seismic activity to probe the interior of Mars, geophysicists have found evidence for a large underground reservoir of liquid water — enough to fill oceans on the planet's surface.
The goal of the mission is to determine the thickness of Europa's icy shell and how it interacts with the ocean below. (Scripps News) NASA’s Europa Clipper launches from Kennedy Space Center [Video]
Conceivably, if life exists (or existed) on Mars, evidence of life could be found, or is best preserved, in the subsurface, away from present-day harsh surface conditions. [57] Present-day life on Mars, or its biosignatures, could occur kilometers below the surface, or in subsurface geothermal hot spots, or it could occur a few meters below the ...
An 'occultation' of Mars is coming on the night of Dec. 7, 2022. How to view the rare event with your naked eye. Or even better, with a telescope.
