"NASA Reveals Humanity's Message for Jupiter's Moon Europa"
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, set to launch in October, will carry a commemorative plate featuring a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón and over 2.6 million names submitted by the public. The plate, made of tantalum, will honor Earth's connection to Europa and include recordings of the word "water" spoken in 103 languages, as well as the Drake Equation and references to interstellar communication. The spacecraft aims to explore Jupiter's moon Europa to determine if it could support life, with a focus on its subsurface ocean, icy crust, and space environment.
