Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ocean Worlds Exploration Program (OWEP) is an initiative to create a NASA mission program meant to explore the places in the outer Solar System that could possess subsurface oceans, to assess their habitability and to seek simple extraterrestrial life.
Prime targets include moons that harbor hidden oceans inside a shell of ice: Europa, Enceladus, and Titan.  A host of other bodies in the outer Solar System are inferred by a single type of observation or by theoretical modeling to have subsurface oceans.  Europa is the first planned target of this program, and will be visited by the planned Europa Clipper orbiter mission.The US House Appropriations Committee approved the bill in May 20, 2015 and directed NASA to create an Ocean Worlds Exploration Program. There is not yet a formal Ocean Worlds Program that NASA has assigned to a particular center, a "Roadmaps to Ocean Worlds" is in the process, and the formal program is still being established within the agency.
