A long-awaited space mission seeking to find alien life on the moons of Jupiter is set to blast off today.
The mission with a peculiar name, Juice (short for Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer), is a project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and will make unprecedentedly detailed observations of the gas giant.
The icy moons of Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa each have their own oceans and the mission will investigate whether they could have supported life, and maybe if they still do.
