$The shape on the left is the front of the sticker, shaped like a circle. The background is Europa, with the top of the sticker showing Europa's surface, which then fades into black halfway down the background. The bottom half of the image is black. The image of Europa is well known. It is a light pink surface with orange/rust colored lines crisscrossing the surface in unique patterns. Overlayed on the black is the text "EUROPA". The right is a white circle that is the back of the sticker. It says "EUROPA" at the very top. Under that, it has descriptive text: Europa —una de las lunas de Júpiter— es uno de los cuerpos más interesantes de nuestro sistema solar. Intercalado entre su cubierta exterior helada y su manto rocoso, fluye un océano salado global que tiene el doble del volumen de todos los océanos de la Tierra combinados. ¿Por qué importa esto? En la Tierra, dondequiera que encontramos agua, encontramos vida. Mientras que la superficie de Europa está fría, la luna genera suficiente calor interno a medida que la gravedad de Júpiter la jala y flexiona para evitar que el océano se congele. Esta flexión de las mareas también genera tensiones que pueden fracturar y deformar la superficie, creando las crestas, bandas y áreas fragmentadas de Europa. La asombrosa geología y el potencial astrobiológico de Europa la convierten en un destino fascinante para la exploración.$

Sandwiched between its icy outer shell and rocky mantle flows a global salty ocean that is twice the volume of all Earth's oceans combined. Why does this matter? On Earth, wherever we find water, we find life. While Europa's surface is cold, the moon generates enough internal heath as it is tugged and flexed by Jupiter's gravity to keep the ocean from freezing. This tidal flexing also generates stresses that can fracture and deform the surface, creating Europa's ridges, bands, and disrupted iceberg-like areas. Europa's astonishing geology and astrobiological potential make it a fascinating destination for exploration". Under that, there is a link to europa.nasa.gov, and then www.nasa.gov. The NASA name and meatball logo are at the very bottom.$

Europa Clipper: Exploring Jupiter's Ocean Moon (Mission Overview)

On its journey to the Jupiter system, NASA's Europa Clipper will take a path that swings past Mars, then Earth, using the gravity of each planet as a slingshot to boost the spacecraft's speed.

A series of circles shows the winding path Europa Clipper will take to reach Jupiter and its moon, Europa. The Sun is shown as an orange dot in the center of the circle. A blue circle shows the spacecraft's path. The orbits of Earth, Mars, and Jupiter also are depicted by circles. The graphic is annotated with key events on the spacecraft's path.

Europa Clipper's Trajectory to Jupiter

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This graphic shows the expected timeline of milestones immediately following lifto...

A graphic with a purple curved line bending upward from the bottom left side of the page to show what happens to Europa Clipper after launch. Small illustrations show the rocket at launch, booster separation, stage separations, fairing jettison, parking orbit, rocket burns to boost the spaceship toward Jupiter, and finally separation of the spacecraft from the remaining piece of the launch vehicle. A table on the right side of the illustration gives times for each of the events depicted by the graphic.

Europa Clipper: NASA's Largest Planetary Spacecraft (Artist's Concept)

Scientists think that under the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa a saltwater ocean exists that may contain more than twice as much liquid water as all of Earth's oceans combined.

A side view of what Europa what look like if we could slice into it. There's beige, and white crust with reddish streaks and plumes erupting. Below the crust is a blue ocean on top of a brown crust with a reddish hotspot in the lower left corner.

The orbits of Jupiter's four largest moons are shown with dark circles. A hazy, blueish Jupiter is in the center of the image. Red, gold, and beige bands around Jupiter illustrate the intensity of the planet's radiation bands. A blue ellipse shows the path Europa Clipper will take as it makes close passes over Europa.

This artist's concept depicts the long, looping path NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will take to reach the Jupiter system.

An illustration with purple, white, red, and blue circles showing the path of the silver Europa Clipper spacecraft as it travels to the Jupiter system. The blue circle shows the spacecraft's gravity assist at Earth, the red circle shows the spacecraft's path around Mars, and the purple path shows the spacecraft arriving at Jupiter. The spacecraft is shown on the white circle nearing Jupiter. In the center of the image is our Sun shown in yellowish orange.
