TL;DR Summary

NASA has unveiled the design for a special message heading to Jupiter's moon Europa aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft, including a metal plate with an engraving of a poem and over 2.6 million names, as well as recordings of the word "water" spoken in 103 languages. The spacecraft aims to explore Europa's potential to support life by making close flybys and gathering data about its subsurface ocean, icy crust, and thin atmosphere. The mission's detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the potential for habitable worlds beyond Earth.
