Later tonight, the spacecraft Juno will enter orbit around Jupiter. It will spend about 18 months repeatedly skimming close to the surface of Jupiter at its north and south poles. It will have to avoid Jupiter's huge radiation belts so all the electronics don't get fried, and even then it still has to house the instruments in titanium casing so they'll last longer before getting fried anyway. Juno will study the interior of the giant planet and see whether it actually has a dense rocky core or not, as well as studying Jupiter's clouds and its gravitational and magnetic fields. At the end of its mission, Juno will fly directly into the planet and burn up in its atmosphere.

Fun facts!

Jupiter is really fuckin big!

This is is only the 9th spacecraft to reach Jupiter and the 2nd to orbit it, assuming we don't gently caress up putting it into orbit tonight.

It took 5 years for Juno to get there. The spacecraft looped around the inner solar system and zipped past earth for a speed boost before heading out to Jupiter.

The spacecraft is named after the mythological goddess who was Zeus' sister and wife.

Russia never even sent a single spacecraft to Jupiter! Those lame-os can't space race for poo poo.

Jupiter was probably the first planet to form in the solar system. This mission should tell us more about the formation of Jupiter and the solar system as a whole.

We ran out of nuclear materials to power spacecraft, so we had to use solar panels for this one instead. No solar powered craft has gone this far away from the sun before, so the panels have to be fuckin huge!

Jupiter has auroras at its poles that are bigger than the whole earth! We're gonna look at those too. vvvv see below

Jupiter!

That's so stupid. Jupiter is like right there at the beginning of the video. They could have gone straight across and been there in like an hour. Science is dumb.

It doesn't matter if it's a gas cloud or a rock it weighs a lot and if you ignore what's on the inside it functions only kind of different from a big rock.

The magnetospheres of planets trap charged particles and protect them from solar winds. You might have heard of the Van Allen belt, that's earth's, but Jupiter is bigger and badder. And significantly less influenced by the sun.

One of its 67 moons, Io, has over 400 active volcanos and is about the size of our moon, ~1/10 the size of earth I guess technically it's more like 8% the size of earth. Its volcanos just casually dump up to 1 ton of poo poo per second 500km away from its surface and then jupiter pulls it in. Makes our moon look like a wuss moon, and it's a good comparison because it's the only other body in our solar system that's roughly the size of our moon.

67 moons? ya, jupiter stole a bunch of space junk while orbiting around because it's that drat big. It has 4 moons that are about as big as planets/our moon (one is bigger than mercury, get hosed mercury), 4 other moons that are moon-like, and then 59 "moons".

This is really cool too. Gonna spend the rest of my evening learning stuff about jupiter and Io. I would have liked to do space stuff, but once I had to start doing algebra in high school I realised it wasn't for me. Like if I can't calculate how many fence panels Farmer John needs to cover an area of 500m square, I sure as hell can't work out space rocket stuff.
