Jupiter's moon Europa. About the same size as Earth's moon, but with a very intriguing difference: evidence suggests that beneath its icy crust, Europa hides a global ocean of liquid water – with more water than all of Earth's oceans combined!

Two weeks from today, the launch period opens for NASA's mission, which will send a robotic spacecraft bristling with high-tech science instruments to find out if this icy world has the conditions that could sustain extraterrestrial life.

When a planet swings in front of its star, the starlight we see dims from Earth. These events, called transits, can unlock secrets about distant worlds but predicting them isn’t easy. Luckily, volunteers are on the hunt! Learn how YOU can join the hunt: https://go.nasa.gov/4ew3JPG

8 Things to Know About NASA’s Mission to an Ocean Moon of Jupiter - NASA The first NASA spacecraft dedicated to studying an ocean world beyond Earth, Europa Clipper aims to find out if the ice-encased moon Europa could be habitable.

Say cheese! An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, known as galaxy pair Arp 107, is showing off a cosmic smile – thanks to a galactic collision. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveals the intricate details of this interacting duo, including star formation and a supermassive black hole at the center: https://go.nasa.gov/3BdbAmU
