The ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or 'Juice' for short, successfully blasted off from French Guiana. It'll be the agency's longest-range mission. This was the second launch attempt. Bad weather delayed take-off the previous day. The spacecraft is now on an eight-year journey to the giant gas planet. Scientists hope to find out if Jupiter's moons can sustain life in the vast oceans hidden beneath their ice-covered shells.
