TL;DR Summary

US Poet Laureate Ada Limón has written a poem titled "In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa," which will be engraved on the inward-facing side of a tantalum metal plate and mounted on the side of NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The poem will accompany the spacecraft on its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter's smallest Galilean moon, Europa, where it will investigate whether the conditions on Europa can support life. The "Message in a Bottle" campaign invites the public to add their names to Limón's tribute, which will be stenciled onto a microchip.
