Exploring Europa with Europa Clipper

HYBRID: A vast ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell and there is scientific evidence that the ingredients for life may exist on Europa right now.

At this event, the Lunar and Planetary Institute will present a presentation (offered in-person and virtually) by Dr. Walter Kiefer, Director of the LPI. Dr. Kiefer will discuss NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter’s moon, Europa. Launched in October 2024, Europa Clipper is the first mission designed to conduct a detailed study of Europa.

This event will take place on Thursday, June 5, at 7:30 p.m. CT (8:30 p.m. ET/ 6:30 p.m. MT/ 5:30 p.m. PT). In-person attendees are encouraged to arrive early. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. A short reception with the speaker will follow the presentation.
