Europa Clipper exhibit set for Sea Life Orlando stop

Sea Life Orlando Aquarium will host a short-time pop-up exhibit named “Voyage of Europa Clipper: Exploring an Alien Ocean” on Saturday and Sunday.

The displays aim to connect the deeps of our oceans with the frozen surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. It’s tied to the launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper space probe on Oct. 10.  Clipper’s mission will include exploring the uncharted oceans of Europa.

The exhibit includes an inflatable model of Europa, interactive experiments and Europa Clipper models. Dr. Morgan Cable, a research science with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will give talks about the mission on both days at 1 p.m. She has also worked on the Cassini, Dragonfly and Mars Perseverance missions.

“Hosting this exhibit allows visitors to explore both the depths of our planet’s oceans and the vast possibilities of ocean worlds beyond,” Michelle Daniels, head of marketing at Sea Life Orlando, said in a news release.

“Voyage of Europa Clipper” is included with regular admission to Sea Life, which operates at Icon Park complex on International Drive. A one-day admission to Sea Life is $34.99, although the attraction offers several combo deals and online discounts.
