Something that recently captured our imaginations was the successful launch of the Europa Clipper mission. The spacecraft, which is meant to conduct a detailed study of Jupiter’s moon Europa, will spend nearly 6 years traveling 1.8 billion miles across our solar system to its destination.
If all goes well, the craft should arrive in orbit around Jupiter by April 2030 (if you’re reading this then, hi, Future Pandas!). From there, the Europa Clipper will conduct 49 close flybys of Europa, every two to three weeks.

The reason why the Europa Clipper won’t be orbiting Europa is because of the intense radiation zone around the moon, which would fry the nine sensitive science instruments housed within the spacecraft.
NASA writes: “There is strong evidence Jupiter’s moon Europa has a saltwater ocean that may be one of the best places to look for environments where life could exist beyond Earth.”

So, being the space nerds that we are, we’re extremely excited to find out the results of all the experiments the spacecraft will conduct from 2030 onward. We’ll be breathlessly following the developments.
And speaking of geeky space things, yours truly has sent their name to Mars on previous NASA missions. It’s a ton of fun to be a symbolic part of something so huge. Keep an eye out for future missions if you want to do something similar.

Staying up to date with science news is a fun pastime of ours. Not only is it enjoyable to feel like you’re on top of the latest developments in your areas of interest but it also gently reframes your perspective. The facts that we learned in school, while useful in a general sense, might not exactly be the cutting-edge information that they used to be back then.

It’s tough to find the time and energy to be curious about the scientific world if you’ve got a full-time job, have kids, are studying for a degree, or have any number of other important responsibilities.
The easiest thing to do after a busy day is to binge some TV shows on the couch. While that’s cozy and comfortable and a good break once in a while, it’s not the best for our bodies and minds.
Taking even a few minutes to exercise, study something new, or work on that creative project of yours (the one you keep procrastinating on) is worth the effort. All of that minuscule incremental progress quickly adds up!

So, for instance, if you find that you’ve been completely detached from the scientific world since high school ended, you could intentionally start reading one or two short articles from reputable sources every day.
Little by little, you’ll work your way up to more in-depth analyses and research papers. You never know, it might be the impulse you need to continue your education, whether in a scientific field or something else.
