In what some scientists regard as the best chance of finding extra-terrestrial life in our solar system, a £1.4bn probe will blast into space on Thursday on a mission to search for signs of life around Jupiter
In what some scientists regard as the best chance of finding extra-terrestrial life in our solar system, the spacecraft will give relatively nearby Mars a miss and instead head to the icy moons of distant Jupiter, much deeper into space.
The mission to Jupiter, which on average is 444 million miles from Earth, is due to take off from French Guiana and is run by the European Space Agency. It will also play a key role in detecting moving salts in the oceans beneath the icy crusts of Ganymede as well as exploring Jupiter’s other moons, Europa and Callisto.
“It’s like trying to find lots of needles in a haystack, and those needles are changing shape and colour all the time. But we think the results are going to be spectacular.”
