Exploring Europa With Europa Clipper - Lunar and Planetary Institute

A vast ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell and there is scientific evidence that the ingredients for life may exist on Europa right now.

Join the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) for a hybrid presentation (offered in-person and virtually) by Dr. Walter Kiefer, Director of the LPI. Dr. Kiefer will discuss NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
