Juno….

Well…as you know if you’ve been here for any length of time, I am a science geek and just love it when I can talk about new scientific discoveries and this week we have another one….on the 4th of July, a new spacecraft named Juno entered into orbit around Jupiter to do a two year scientific mission…and one of the cool things is that, after an adjusting burn, the thing is going to skim the cloud tops, at times only 50 miles above them which should give us just some of the coolest images ever…..can’t wait to see close ups of the great red spot and I am excited about the other things that will be discovered…..I’m hoping that Juno will get to the end of it’s two year mission…and that is not certain given the radiation environment it will be working in….whatever happens…it’s going to be cool…
