JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer), led by the European Space Agency (ESA), is off to explore Jupiter and its three giant icy moons: Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. 🛰️ Its mission? To find out if these moons have hidden oceans under their icy surfaces and if they could support life. 🌌 Launched on April 14, 2023, from the European Spaceport in French Guiana, JUICE hitched a ride on an Ariane 5 rocket. 🚀 Using gravity assists from Earth, the Moon, and Venus, it’s now on its way to Jupiter, expe
