美国宇航局将发起一项重大任务，探索木星的卫星欧罗巴上的适居地点。

NASA is launching a new mission, Europa Clipper, to Jupiter's moon Europa in search of habitable spots and potential alien life. The spacecraft, the largest planetary exploration vehicle NASA has ever made, will conduct a detailed study of Europa, focusing on its potential to host life beyond Earth.

The search for extraterrestrial life typically centers on Mars, but moons of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn offer potential habitable environments due to their possession of liquid water. Europa, similar to Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus, is believed to have an under-ice liquid ocean, making it a prime target for exploration.

Europa Clipper will carry nine scientific instruments to study the moon's surface and subsurface, including a wide-angle camera, thermal imaging system, spectrometer, and tools for measuring the depth and salt levels of the moon's ocean. The mission, however, will take more than five years to reach Jupiter, and its primary goal is to assess the potential for life rather than directly detecting life itself.

While the mission may not yield immediate discoveries, it represents an exciting opportunity for humanity to advance in the search for life beyond our own planet.
