While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Jupiter’s moon Europa has surface ice but might harbor an ocean beneath.
- The ocean’s salinity and depth remain unknown.
- NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, scheduled for launch in 2024, will carry ice-penetrating radar.
- The radar can map the thickness of Europa’s ice shell and detect potential water pockets.
- Understanding Europa’s ocean could inform the search for extraterrestrial life.
The student wants to emphasize the scientific significance of the Europa Clipper mission in a presentation to classmates. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
