To take the guided tour of Europa, visit trek.nasa.gov/europa, click on the “hamburger” icon on the top left of the screen, and select the “Landforms of Europa” option. You can, of course, explore the surface on your own, too.
And if you’d like to see more of our solar system, you’ll be glad to know that Europa Trek is just one of more than a dozen such treks exploring the celestial bodies here. Find the others at NASA’s Solar System Treks portal, including our own moon, the near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, and Saturn’s moon Titan.
