If you are an astronomy and space travel enthusiast, your name could be one of more than two million names sent by NASA on a spacecraft heading to Jupiter’s moon Europa, as part of the “Message in a Bottle” project, which will be printed on chips. Minute affixed to the spacecraft alongside a poem by American poet Ada Lemon.

How do you make your name travel to space?

According to the agency’s official website,NASA», The poem was engraved on NASA’s Europa Clipper robotic spacecraft along with the names of the participants. Together, the poem and names will travel a distance of 1.8 billion miles on Europa Clipper’s journey to the Jupiter system, scheduled to launch in October 2024, and by 2030, it will be in orbit. Around Jupiter, over several years, the spacecraft will conduct dozens of flybys near Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, collecting detailed measurements to determine whether the moon has conditions suitable for life.

Once the names are compiled, technicians in the Micro Instrumentation Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California will use an electron beam to draw them on a tiny silicon chip the size of a dime, each line of text smaller than 1/1,000 the width of a human hair (75 nanometers).

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft’s sensitive electronics are housed in an aluminum-zinc alloy vault to protect the electronics from Jupiter’s intense radiation belts, as well as a tantalum metal plate closing a hole in the vault. The inward-facing side of the metal plate will be engraved with the phrase “In Praise of Mystery: Ode to Europe” by American poet Ada Lemon, handwritten by the poet, dedicated to NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, which invites people around the world to sign their names to the poem.

How do you send your name into space?

According to NASA, more than 2.4 million people have added their names so far, and your name can be among the names that travel to space with the spacecraft by following the following steps:

Despite the magnitude of the mountains and the vastness of the seas, oceans, and natural islands, to the extent that it is difficult to contain them in one look, the matter is different when looking at these places from a place much higher than them. They look as if they are small figures, and may even form some strange drawings, which is what has already appeared in several images from the American space agency NASA.

Different faces of the Earth

Specialists at the Earth Observatory of the American Space Agency (NASA) published several pictures of various places in… Planet Earthwhich, despite its vast actual area, seemed very small, and even formed strange faces and shapes that almost chilled the body. At times, the shape appears as if it were an image of a skull with its eyes staring directly into the lens of a camera focused on it, and at other times it appears as if it were an animal. He jumps with grace and strength, and in a third it looks like a human face.

One is in the shape of a skull and one is shaped like a human face

The Sputnik website quoted the images published by NASA, which came as follows:

Volcanic caldera lake

In the photo taken of it from above, the volcanic caldera lake appeared as if it were a giant skull in the desert, with two wide eyes staring directly into the camera lens focused on it, to the point of causing terror at first glance for those who see it. This giant lake, which is 1,000 meters wide, was formed as a result of… A massive volcanic eruption in the distant past. These mountain highlands are located in the central desert. The picture was taken by an astronaut whose name was not mentioned. The picture came in this form as a result of previous volcanic eruptions and salt deposits from hot springs.

Sao Miguel Island

Sao Miguel Island looked like the round face of a small animal, with eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Sao Miguel Island is considered the largest, most populous, and most volcanically active among the nine islands of the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean region.

Stratosphere region

It is an image that looked like faces chasing each other; As some scholars NASA agency Astronauts have a special hobby, which is searching atmospheric data to find the rare moment when faces rotate in their data, and then taking pictures of it.

Dalarna region, Sweden

When a photo was taken of it from space, it appeared as if it were an animal jumping with grace and strength.

Kilauea Peak in the Hawaiian Islands

It appeared in the picture while lava was flowing in it, and it looked as if it was a huge animal looking with frightening red eyes.

Plymouth, Massachusetts, England

The peninsula appeared in the pictures as if it were a human face.

Australian region of New South Wales

They appeared in the pictures as if they were small spots of white, and they appeared as a result of the lakes that were formed for the first time in 5 years by Floods.
