The other night, Max and I watched videos about Jupiter’s moon, Europa. He knows from other times we’ve talked that scientists think there may be life there. But he never knew the ocean there larger than any ocean on Earth. That got him excited, because of his love for oceans, and he even told Karolina about it the next day.
We learned about the satellite NASA will send there in a few years. And we remembered the scary Europa Report which we watched maybe 6 months ago, and he liked very much.
Thisled to the inevitable questions about Voyager I and II, which continue to fascinate him (and me!) … since it’s the farthest we’ve sent any satellite, ever, and the first and only to leave our solar system.
The point of this story? Max calls the moon Aropa instead of Europa, and I think it is adorable.
