NASA will send a symbolic water word in Hindi with its Europa Clipper mission


- The word water will be engraved in 103 languages ​​of the world on a plate on the spacecraft going to explore Jupiter's moon Europa.


Washington: The US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will send a symbolic message in Hindi language to the satellite of Europa, the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. This message in Hindi will be sent with NASA's Europa Clipper Mission.

A symbolic message written in Hindi is engraved on a specially made plate of a metal called tantalum measuring 7 by 11 inches. This metal plate is mounted on NASA's Europa Clipper mission. The Europa Clipper mission (spacecraft) will launch in October 2024 for a special exploration of the Europa satellite. The main purpose of the Europa Clipper mission is to investigate the possibility of future life in the subsurface of Jupiter's large moon Europa.

NASA sources have given information that we will send a message with the word water written in 103 languages ​​of the world, including Hindi, with the Europa Clipper mission. Such messages are collected from all over the world. Based on extensive research and study by expert astronomers of the world, it has been found that Europa is made of silicate rock. Along with these silicate rocks, ice is also abundant. There is also strong evidence of a vast ocean beneath the rocky surface of the ice. According to this evidence, the water level of this ocean under Europa is more than twice the water level of all the oceans on Earth. However, Europa's underground ocean is of salt water. There is no flowing and drinkable water on Earth.

NASA sources have also reported that the audio files of such messages have been converted into wave forms. These same wave forms would represent the word water in American Sign Language. One of the waveforms on that plate is the word water. Water means water is called Pani in Hindi.

The idea to send such a message with the Europa Clipper mission came from a reference to the Golden Record sent with NASA's Voyager mission. The Voyager spacecraft has now passed the border of our solar system.

Lori Glaze, Director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, has informed that along with the Europa Clipper mission, American poet Ada Lyman's poem about the Europa satellite: In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa, will also be sent along with such a message. In addition, the names of more than 2.6 million citizens from around the world have been incorporated into the silicon microchip.

* Features and characteristics of Jupiter's satellite Europa:

* Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet in our solar system. The surprising thing is that Jupiter has a total of 95 satellites. Four of these major and major satellites are Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa.

* Europa is the smallest of Jupiter's four main and larger moons.

* Europa was discovered on January 8, 1610 by the great Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei and Simon Marius. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon in size.

* Europa's underground ocean is of salt water.

* Europa's atmosphere is very thin. However, its atmospheric components also contain some oxygen.

* Europa's very smooth rocky terrain also has a few meteorites.
