During its flyby of Earth the, Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (#Juice) probe found ingredients for #life in Earth’s #atmosphere.
The #flyby provided the opportunity to test out and calibrate Juice’s science instruments in space, ensuring that they are ready for arrival at #Jupiter.
In the Jupiter system, Juice will fly through dust and gas emitted from the icy moons #Europa, #Ganymede and #Callisto, and search for signatures of life under their icy crusts.

@mustapipa So what happens if we discovered life did exist on one of Jupiters moons, but is no longer there to the levels of CO_2 in the atmosphere, being far higher due to activity of intelligent life. That would be ground breaking, but would that provide the wake up call humans need.
