Video caption: NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a unique time-lapse movie of the Galilean satellites in motion about Jupiter. The movie begins on June 12th with Juno 10 million miles from Jupiter, and ends on June 29th, 3 million miles distant. The innermost moon is volcanic Io; next in...
NASA's Jupiter-exploring space probe Juno celebrates 10 years in space today (Aug. 5). On Aug. 5, 2011, Juno launched to space from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (formerly known as Cape Canaveral Air Force Station) in Florida. It arrived at Jupiter five years later and has been ...
Juno Now in Orbit around Jupiter Jupiter has a new visitor. After traveling 2.8 billion kilometers across space, NASA's Juno probe - a mission to investigate Jupiter's deep interior (SN: 6/25/16, p. 16) - arrived at the giant planet July 4. Juno's scientific instruments... C Crocket...
Juno, U.S. space probe designed to orbit the planet Jupiter. It is named for the Roman goddess who is the female counterpart to the god Jupiter. Juno orbits Jupiter every 11 days in a highly elliptical orbit over the planet’s poles. Unlike previous prob
In July 2016, NASA’s Juno space probe reached Jupiter, becoming the second spacecraft in history to orbit the gas giant (the first being the Galileo probe that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003). The data it has sent back has led to new revelations about the Jovian atmosphere, magnetosph...
A Jet Propulsion Laboratory-managed space probe has peeled back a layer of mystery surrounding the solar system’s largest planet by peering deep into the atmosphere of Jupiter, the institution announced last week. Scientists have known about “hot spots” on Jupiter since 1995, when the Galileo...
Jupiter has fascinated sky-gazers for millennia but it wasn’t until we sent probes to the planet that scientists began to unravel its deepest secrets. Now, new scientific data from Juno, the most recent spacecraft to rendezvous with the gas giant, shows that Jupiter has many more secrets ...
