A historic mission to search for signs of alien life on Jupiter's icy moons has launched from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. The Juice spacecraft has been carried skyward by an Ariane 5 rocket, beginning an eight-year journey to the gas giant's orbit via flybys of Earth and Venus. Its successful launch today followed a delay to the mission. The craft had been due to launch on Thursday but the decision was made to postpone because of bad weather.
