Understanding the formation of Europa. This week, on Planetary Radio.

I'm Sarah Alahmid of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

Jupiter's Moon Europa is one of the most exciting locations in the solar system in the search for life,

but a crust of ice guards the secrets of its potential subsurface ocean.

This week, Kevin Trin from Arizona State University joins us to discuss his research on Europa's formation history,

and the consequences for the Moon's habitability.

The Planetary Society's Jason Davis looks forward to the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse in 2024.

Then, Bruce Betts, our Chief Scientist, joins me for WhatsApp and a Commentary Random Space Fact.

On April 8, 2024, a Total Solar Eclipse will pass over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Here's Jason Davis, the Planetary Society's Senior Editor, to talk about our newest article.

We got to get you there, especially this time.

Yeah, yeah.

So, why should people try to get to the path of totality?
