"Exploring the Weirdness of Jupiter's Ocean Moons: Europe's JUICE Mission Launches Soon"
TL;DR Summary
Europe's JUICE mission will launch on April 13 to explore Jupiter and its three largest moons, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede. JUICE will collect data to confirm the presence of liquid water below the surfaces of these moons, which was only hinted at by the Galileo mission back in the 1900s. The spacecraft will fly by all moons multiple times to collect valuable data and will enter orbit directly around Ganymede in 2034, making it the first moon other than Earth's to have a spacecraft in its orbit.
