NASA unveils cryptic message from Earth to be sent to Jupiter's icy ocean moon Europa

NASA has unveiled a cryptic human message it will be shipping off in its latest mission to Jupiter's icy ocean moon, Europa.

In a statement released March 8, NASA has now revealed how these names will be carried into space. More than 2.6 million names have been stenciled into a"dime-size" silicon microchip by technicians at the Microdevices Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This microchip will be attached to a commemorative plate, which will feature a handwritten copy of the poem"In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa" by U.S.

"The plate combines the best humanity has to offer across the universe — science, technology, education, art, and math. The message of connection through water, essential for all forms of life as we know it, perfectly illustrates Earth's tie to this mysterious ocean world we are setting out to explore."
