The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a new space mission to investigate Jupiter's moons.  The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission launched from French Guiana on 14 April 2023. The mission's satellite is currently on its way to the Solar System's largest planet to investigate if its moons have the capacity to support life.  One of the most vexing issues regarding space is whether or not the Solar System contains extraterrestrial life.  A new ESA mission to Jupiter is hoping to find evidence that other celestial bodies in the Solar System could contain life. The Juice mission will launch from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, and will travel to the moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa.  Dr Helena Bates, a space researcher at the Museum who isn't engaged with the expedition, says, 'The Juice mission is exploring some of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System when it comes to the potential to support life.'  'It's a truly ...

North Korea fired the missile into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan on Thursday, according to South Korean officials, continuing the North's provocative missile tests.  The launch caused Japan to issue an evacuation order for a northern island, which was later rescinded, demonstrating North Korea's neighbors' caution over its increasing missile threats.  According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, the missile launched at a high angle from near Pyongyang and crashed in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan after a 620-mile flight.  They stated that the missile had a medium to long range.  The US National Security Council referred to it as a long-range missile, but Japan's defense minister referred to it as an ICBM-class weapon.    Accord...
