US space scientists revealed the interplanetary Clipper spacecraft destined for one of Jupiter's icy moons in search of extraterrestrial life.

The Clipper spacecraft is set to launch in October and conduct a detailed study of Jupiter's moon Europa over five years.

jamaicaobserver.com/2024/04/15/macron-says-olympic-opening-ceremony-move-river-stadium-security-threat/

Quick Glance: Security Concerns Prompt Alternatives for France's Olympic Opening Ceremony

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.

Expressing confidence, Macron believes the anticipated Games ceremony with large crowds by the Seine, involving around 160 boats embarking on a 6 km journey, will be a significant achievement.

The leadership of the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams approves of the security arrangements along the Seine for the opening ceremony, according to the team's security head, Nicole Deal.
