Moving a 6,000-pound spacecraft is tricky, like when we maneuvered NASA Europa Clipper into JPL's thermal vacuum chamber, where teams simulated the conditions it will experience in space.

Up next: Moving the spacecraft from our California clean room to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Your name here: If you signed up to send your name to Europa, it has been loaded aboard our spacecraft, along with messages and artwork connecting one water world with another. To see – and hear – more, just dive in: go.nasa.gov/4bFPqY8 #GoEuropaClipper

Water can be found in regions around black holes! Similar to how lasers amplify visible light, water can amplify microwave light. These “water masers” can be particularly bright near the central black holes in certain galaxies. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3U0YzDJ #BlackHoleWeek

Just this morning, Hubble changed its clock. 🕒

Remember Y2K? It turns out Hubble has something similar – only Hubble’s clock restarts every 6,213 days, 18 hours, 48 minutes, and 31.875 seconds.

AKA, about every 17 years, so today marked Hubble's second clock change!

Iconic! NASA has selected 40 undergrad students for the new Europa ICONS (Inspiring Clipper: Opportunities for Next-generation Scientists) internship program, which matches students with mentors from the mission’s science team to conduct original research. go.nasa.gov/3WoUT09
