To celebrate the successful launch of NASA\u2019s Europa Clipper mission, the agency\u2019s Astrobiology program has released a new edition of Issue #4 \u2013 Missions to the Outer Solar System<\/em> \u2013 of its graphic history series Astrobiology: The Story of our Search for Life in the Universe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Issue #4 tells the story of the outer solar system, from beyond the asteroid belt to the outer reaches of the Sun\u2019s magnetic influence. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are not habitable, but many of their moons raise questions about life\u2019s potential far, far away from the warmth of the Sun.<\/p>\n

One such body is Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa, which contains an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy surface. The Europa Clipper mission is designed to help scientists understand whether this ocean holds key ingredients that could support habitable environments for life as we know it. The spacecraft launched on Oct. 14 and will arrive at Jupiter in 2030.<\/p>\n

Additional content in the fourth edition of Issue #4 also includes ESA\u2019s (European Space Agency) Juice (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) mission, which will arrive in the Jovian system in 2031 and collect data on many of Jupiter\u2019s moons, including Ganymede, Europa, Callisto, and Io, that is complementary to Europa Clipper\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n

Read more about how astrobiologists study the potential for life on worlds like Europa and the exciting data that Europa Clipper will gather by visiting NASA\u2019s Astrobiology website and downloading the new edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Digital wallpaper for phones, desktops, or meeting backgrounds that feature the new Europa Clipper artwork from Issue #4 are also available<\/a>.<\/p>\n
