Astronomers dedicate their careers to unlocking the mysteries of space, and while not all of them are constantly searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life, finding it would likely be the biggest discovery in the history of science.

However, that doesn’t mean the rest of our solar system is entirely lifeless. Of all the potentially life-sustaining worlds in our system, Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is one of the most promising. Now, after years of planning, NASA finally gave a green light to a mission focused on exploring what secrets the moon may hold.
