Kopernik Friday Night Livestream: Europa Clipper: Exploration of an Ocean World
Presented by Dr. James Roberts Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
Date/Time: Friday, July 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT
Europa, one of the four Galilean satellites, is a rocky world masquerading as an icy moon. Past missions to the Jupiter system have hinted at a global ocean of liquid water under the ice, kept warm by intense tidal forces. Could the ocean hold the ingredients for life? Answering this question is the goal of NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, launching this October. As the first mission fully dedicated to an outer planet satellite, Europa Clipper will reveal the nature of this enigmatic world in unprecedented detail, and pave the way for a future landed mission.
We are excited to offer this program both online and in-person. For those that can visit us on-site, doors open at 8:00pm and the program begins at 8:30pm. If the skies are clear, our domes will be open for you to view the night skies through Kopernik’s telescopes both before and after the program.
