We're sending a spacecraft to take a good long look at Jupiter's moon Europa in about an hour (around noon). The mission, according to JPL <https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper/>, "...will place a spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter in order to perform a detailed investigation of Europa -- a world that shows strong evidence for an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust and which could host conditions favorable for life. The mission will send a highly capable, radiation-tolerant spacecraft into a long, looping orbit around Jupiter to perform repeated close flybys of the icy moon." You can watch the launch live on NASA TV here, starting now: https://plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-video/europa-clipper-launch/ MPD

Thank you!
