NASA is receiving signals 540 million miles across the Solar System! Juno is a probe that has traveled to Jupiter and ALL of us are exited to see what is happening on this, the largest of the planets in our solar system. It took Juno 5 years to get to Jupiter and everyone who cares were crossing their fingers hoping Juno would survive entering Jupiter's orbit. No one really knew what to expect...so, now what happens? Juno will orbit Jupiter taking pictures, measuring gravitational pull and look at what the clouds on Jupiter are made of. Then the brave little probe will use its power to exit out of Jupiter's orbit to grab data on radiation levels and how much magnetism is found surrounding Jupiter. After that Juno will be out of fuel and fall back into Jupiter's orbit and will be pulled into the gas giant to eventually crash (?) into Jupiter, all the while it will be transmitting data back to our blue planet Earth. Here are some fascinating pictures of Jupiter transmitted already. We have never seen Jupiter's poles until Juno, take a look: Jupiter has an aurora just like earth due to the magnetic poles reacting with the Sun's radioactive waves traveling across the solar system. This is an artists rendition of Juno with Jupiter in the background. Juno is about the size of a full basketball court in reality.
This is truly exciting! Groundbreaking science! News! Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks!

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
