Searching For Life On Jupiter's Moon, Europa | Moon Explorers | BBC Earth Science

Europa Clipper is a new space adventure due to launch in 2024. Its mission? To search for signs of life and habitability on Jupiter's strange, enticing moon – but, what else will we find there?

interested in the Ocean world missions by NASA' Europa Clipper and ESA's JUICE we just only have to wait fo awhile once they get there

[robnason]

It doesn't sound like the Europa Clipper will be able to definitely determine whether or not there is any type of life on Europa. Rather, the best it can do is determine if conditions there make it possible whether life can exist. When the project is done, there will likely only be more questions to excite the dreamers.

If it weren't for a horror game by the name of Barotrauma, I wouldn't know about Europa or its capabilities for life. Here's hoping that we find out by the end of the century!

For me it's mindblowing, why the Mars get prioritized so much for the potential discovery of Life, when there is a planet with liquid warm water, an ocean which containes multiple times of the water that earth contains, yet scientists decided to investigate a sand planet.

Here from NASA's Europa clipper launch which is a success so far, now we wait for it to arrive in 2030

If life or remnants of life were found in Europa, it would prove that life is nothing unusual but quite common in the universe. It would change our concept of universe.

I think of the motion picture Europa Report where in the beginning with representatives from various space agencies we catch N.D.Tyson proclaiming he wants to go to Europa and cut a hole in the ice and put a camera in there and see what comes up to lick the cameras lens.

A rover should be sent to Europa and Enceladus with drills + mini submarines. South pole 😮.

what a time to be alive, can't wait to witness history😍😫

[gaming_he_is]

Its not just about water existing but hydrothermal vents too

[TheFilmFellow]

It must be so cool to be able to have worked on a project like that. I won’t arrive for another 5 years which is an interesting dimension on its own.

"All these worlds, are yours, to explore. Except Europa. Attempt no landings there."

[annestank]

I wonder how much bottles of Europa water will sell for on Earth in the future?

[Scott_French_Musics]

Please rockety rocket make it to Europa. Been waiting so long.

[johanliljegren]

I'm looking forward to see more discoveries of the Galilean moons.

[mauricioborges]

Frank, your job is magnificent. Good lucky.

[ajithkumarvlogger]

Europa is my favourite thing, which is having ocean 🌊

[SojournerDidimus]

Life => water, there is zilch reason to believe water => life

[vulcand]

We really need more missions to bring back samples. All these sensors show ....everything is cool, there are conditions that may support life but we don't know if there is life. Rinse and repeat.

[dragossorin]

Water ang geothermal activity should result at least in simple life forms
