WHAT
|
A "talk show" format panel of scientists and science fiction writers
who share their findings and feelings about the exploration of Europa, a moon
of the planet Jupiter, which may have an ocean underneath its icy surface.
Prior to and after the talk, a special 'Europa Exploration History Walk' will take visitors through the
past, present, and even future of our knowledge of Europa, with peroid-costume
booths and displays.
Vendors will also be offering related memorabilia.

WHY

To raise national awareness of our current and future exploration of Europa,
and its potential for an ocean of water and for life.
