A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket with the Europa Clipper spacecraft aboard launches from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral on October 14, 2024. The spacecraft Clipper will soon launch for Jupiter's moon Europa, one of dozens of moons orbiting the Solar System's biggest planet and the nearest spot in our celestial neighborhood that could offer a perch for life. It should reach orbit around Jupiter and Europa in 2031, where it will begin a detailed study of the moon scientists believe is covered in frozen water, which could provide a similar habitat to Earth.
