A spacecraft has blasted into space on a mission that will investigate whether one of Jupiter’s moons could support life.

Nasa’s Europa Clipper took off on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 5.06pm on Monday, after launch was delayed from last week because of hurricane Milton.
