Landing on Europa!

The video discusses NASA's Europa missions, including a flyby and a proposed lander to explore the moon's potential for life. The Europa lander aims to analyze subsurface samples for signs of life, despite challenges from Jupiter's radiation. The video also covers the discovery of Proxima B, a nearby Earth-sized planet initially thought to be habitable, but later found to be inhospitable due to radiation from its red dwarf star. The research helps redefine habitable zones around red dwarfs. The episode concludes with acknowledgments to supporters.
