Juice Mission: why has the search for alien life moved to Jupiter’s moons?

The European Space Agency’s long-awaited Juice Mission is about to
blast off for Jupiter’s moons. Its goal: to find out whether the
oceans below their icy surfaces could be capable of supporting
life. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Dr Stuart Clark about why moons
are the new Mars for scientists seeking life, how magnetic fields
can help us understand these mysterious lunar oceans, and what
Juice might mean for our understanding of life beyond the solar
system. Help support our independent journalism at
