NASA sending ‘message in a bottle’ to possible alien life hiding on Jupiter’s moon Europa

NASA is set to send a unique “message in a bottle” to Jupiter later this year in its pursuit of discovering potential alien life on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.

The Europa Clipper spacecraft, scheduled for launch from Florida’s Kennedy Space Station in October, will transmit 2.6 million soundwaves of human names into space.

The spacecraft’s six-year journey to cover 0.6 billion miles is expected to culminate in April 2030.

During this mission, Europa Clipper will orbit Jupiter and conduct 49 close flybys of Europa, revealing strong evidence of a global ocean beneath its icy crust, surpassing twice the volume of Earth’s combined oceans.

The primary objective of the spacecraft is to investigate whether Europa’s subsurface conditions could support life, contributing to scientists’ understanding of the potential habitability of worlds beyond Earth.

In an emotionally charged gesture, Europa Clipper will broadcast a “richly layered dispatch” of the submitted names, the New York Post reported.
