NASA's Europa Clipper to Carry Multilingual Message to Jupiter's Moon

The mission, launching in October, will explore Europa's ocean and assess its potential to support life.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission will carry a unique message to Jupiter's moon Europa, featuring a metal plate with the word 'water' in 103 languages and a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón.
The plate also includes a silicon microchip with over 2.6 million names submitted by the public, symbolizing a 'Message in a Bottle' to the cosmos.
Designed to explore Europa's subsurface ocean and assess its habitability, the mission will launch in October and reach its destination in 2030.
The plate's design reflects humanity's connection to water and includes references to the Drake Equation and radio frequencies for interstellar communication.
Europa Clipper's journey aims to deepen our understanding of the potential for life in the universe, inspired by the moon's vast ocean beneath its icy crust.
