Jupiter’s Awesome New Image
The Juno spacecraft is a space probe orbiting Jupiter and it’s been sending back some amazing pictures of the gas giant. Launched on August 5, 2011, Juno only arrived at Jupiter as of 2016 and its been in orbit ever since. It dives between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation, coming about 3000 miles from the cloud tops at its closest approach. One of the latest images Juno has sent back is of the planet’s northern region. The image below was tak

The Sky Tonight Update: Jupiter at Opposition
This May 8th, the giant planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. From Baton Rouge it will be visible between 20:19 and 05:45. It will become accessible at around 20:19, when it rises 7° above your south-eastern horizon, and then reach its highest point in the sky at 01:04, 43° above your southern horizon. It will become inaccessible at around 05:45 when it sinks to 8° above your south-western horizon. This optimal posi

The Great Red Spot is Changing Shape
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a swirling anticyclonic storm that was previously large enough to fit three Earths inside. However, observations taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that this is changing, both in shape and size. So why is Jupiter’s trademark feature beginning to downsize? The Great Red Spot was once an oval shape but now is quite circular and measures just under 16,500 kilometers (10,253 miles) across. This is much smaller than what it used

10 Little Known Facts About the Juno Mission
Juno is the second spacecraft designed under NASA’s New Frontiers Program and left Earth on August 8, 2011 for a journey to Jupiter. July 4, 2016 it finally entered Jupiter’s orbit and will now orbit the massive gas giant 37 times in a span of 20 months. Its mission: to collect data on the planetary core, map the magnetic field, and measure the amount of water and ammonia in the atmosphere.
