It‘s Official: NASA is Going to Visit Europa

On Monday, during his “State of NASA” speech, administrator Charles Bolden announced that NASA will be selecting projects to accompany a probe to Jupiter’s moon Europa. Floating in space about 390 million miles from earth, Europa is a remote ice ball that harbors a massive ocean underneath its surface. So massive, in fact, that scientists suspect Europa could have as much as two to three times more liquid water than Earth!
