NASA has launched a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa! The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket with a NASA spacecraft, the Europa Clipper, took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA says it will travel 1.8 billion miles to reach Jupiter by April 2030. Once in Jupiter's orbit, the spacecraft will conduct nearly 50 flybys of Europa, which scientists say has evidence of the ingredients for life.
