NASA’s Europa Clipper probe blasted off from Florida on Monday, bound for an icy moon of Jupiter to discover whether it has the ingredients to support life. Lift-off aboard a powerful SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket took place shortly after noon, with the probe set to reach Jupiter’s moon Europa in five and a half years. The mission will allow the US space agency to uncover new details about Europa, which scientists believe could hold an ocean beneath its icy surface.
