Juno goes into orbit around Jupiter * 2

Brilliant news.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36710768

"The US space agency has successfully put a new probe in orbit around Jupiter.

The Juno satellite, which left Earth five years ago, had to fire a rocket engine to slow its approach to the planet and get caught by its gravity."

It's fantastic what these boffins can do, they had to correctly calculate, an exact 35 minute 'rocket engine burn' to achieve it. Can't wait to see the images it sends back.

Lets just hope it can survive the radiation.

I'll be more excited once it starts relaying pictures and data. But yeah it looks cool.

I can agree but I remember when that puppy was launched and tbh I didn't think it was going to make it. Glad to see it has :thumbup:

Heard it on the mainstream radio outlets today


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..
