The European Space Agency (ESA) has postponed the launch of the Jupiter Juice mission due to lightning risk today by a day. The launch was called off about 10 minutes before the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft was due to blast off. The spacecraft will make detailed observations of Jupiter and its three moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa.
