Europa, if you were wondering. It's a moon of Jupiter that has liquid water oceans covered by ice. It's the best candidate to find extraterrestrial life in our solar system. We're launching an orbiter that won't actually find life, but it will tell us a lot about the planet and what sort of payload we would need to send to look for life.

You mean you can't tell our solar system's ice moons apart from a photo? :P
