Delayed by Hurricane Milton, NASA prepares Europa Clipper for journey to Jupiter's icy moon Europa
The voyage will span 1.8 billion miles over 5.5 years
In a nutshell: The Europa Clipper mission is an important step in our understanding of potentially habitable worlds beyond Earth. By studying Europa's composition, internal structure, and potential for hosting organic compounds, scientists hope to gain insights into the prevalence of habitable environments in our solar system and beyond.

Scientists use explosive X-rays to test viability of nuking incoming asteroids
Spoiler alert: It works but testing on an actual asteroid might be needed
Why it matters: The concept of launching nukes into space to knock asteroids off course or destroy them completely may not sound foreign thanks to numerous sci-fi films popularizing it. But the lack of atmosphere in space nerfs nukes' power considerably, so the idea isn't so easy to pull off. Now, researchers at Sandia National Labs have come up with a new way to compensate for this shortcoming.
