Good luck, Lucy! We're preparing for our own gravity assist flybys during our journey to Jupiter. In March, the Europa Clipper spacecraft will be shooting past Mars, then Earth in 2026. Why? It's all about picking up speed! 1/2

If you zoom in, the tiny "stars" lined up by bright Jupiter are some of its largest moons. In this shot, the one just below and to the left is Europa!

That very bright "star" in the eastern sky after sunset? It's actually the planet Jupiter. With a small telescope, binoculars, or a zoom lens, you can sometimes even see Europa! When this photo was taken yesterday, Europa could be seen as the dot to the upper right of Jupiter.

This story is really beginning to unfold: While zooming through space at 22 miles per second (35 kilometers per second), our spacecraft has deployed its solar arrays, magnetometer boom, and now the antennas for its ice-penetrating radar instrument t.co/s4x0eJs0JS t.co/WDHkVp9pZP

Time flies, and so do we! One month ago, we set out for Jupiter and its ocean moon, Europa. The spacecraft is now 10.2 million miles (16.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Instrument deployments are proceeding well, and the Mars flyby happens in March t.co/bLV02yqQdH t.co/yBgVaySOAF

Europa is about the same size as Earth's moon – yet evidence suggests that, beneath its surface, it has more water than all Earth's oceans combined! See why we think this is the case and the implications for life.
