NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will carry a special message when it launches in October 2024 and heads toward Jupiter's moon Europa.
The moon shows strong evidence of an ocean under its icy crust, with more than twice the amount of water of all of Earth's oceans combined.
A triangular metal plate, seen here, will honor that connection to Earth.
The plate is made of tantalum metal and is about 7 by 11 inches (18 by 28 centimeters).
It is engraved on both sides and seals an opening in the electronics vault, which houses the spacecraft's sensitive electronics.
The art on this side of the plate features waveforms that are visual representations of the sound waves formed by the word "water" in 103 languages.
The waveforms radiate out from a symbol representing the American Sign Language sign for "water."Image Credit: NASA/JPL-CaltechRead More.
