Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is especially interesting because it is thought to have water oceans under it's icy surface which could potentially harbor life!

When I was in primary school I used to dream of being able to visit Europa someday. The tidal forces from Jupiter keeping the sub-surface ocean warm enough to potentially harbor life was always fascinating to me.

I can't wait for the Clipper Mission, but I hope that we get a chance to send a submersible to explore the oceans in my lifetime.
