To gain insights into the ice shell's thickness and the ocean's existence, along with its depth and salinity, the mission will measure the moon's induced magnetic field with the ECM (Europa ...

During its flybys, the probe will measure the moon’s magnetic and gravity fields, providing information about Europa’s interior composition to help resolve such debates. While Clipper is not ...

The ambitious mission won't actually look for life on Jupiter's moon Europa, but it should find out if the presumed ocean provides a habitable environment.

Researchers are working on technology that could follow NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and hunt for life in the ocean of ...

Four identical satellites spent decades exploring how solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field to create aurorae and other effects.

Scientists believe the moon's water, chemistry and energy could ... is so challenging is that Jupiter is surrounded by a magnetic field that is 20,000 times stronger than Earth's.
