Join experts for a discussion about the Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's icy moon and the potential for habitable worlds beyond Earth!
Due to evidence of an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust, Jupiter's moon Europa is considered one of the most promising locations in the solar system, beyond Earth, to have all of the "ingredients" needed to support life. Not only is this moon thought to have more water than all of Earth's oceans combined, but it also contains essential organic building blocks, energy sources from both the surface and the sea floor, and remarkably stable conditions.
On October 10, 2024, NASA will launch its Europa Clipper Mission to unlock clues about the nature of this ocean world's composition and geology via a series of close flybys with scientific instruments, gathering detailed measurements via cameras and ice-penetrating radar. Hear from experts working on the project to learn more about the groundbreaking mission and the potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet! Register here.
The event is hosted and co-produced by John “Das” Galloway, founder of the Kerbal Space Academy.
All programs are live-streamed via the Intrepid Museum’s Facebook, YouTube, and X and NSF’s YouTube channel.
Funded by: The Virtual Astronomy Live is supported through a NASA Cooperative Agreement awarded to the New York Space Grant Consortium.
The program is also supported, in part, by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
