Juno made a successful approach, and is now orbiting Jupiter.

For the first time, we have actual footage of moons orbiting a planet, seen from above the ecliptic.

It is worth noting that the linked image was taken six days ago on June 29th while the spacecraft was still over three million miles away. It has been hauling some major ass to get to an orbit which, at its closest point, is only 2,900 miles above the tops of Jupiter's clouds.

Absolutely amazing!

I was passed by a Dodge mini-van yesterday with the plate # "JUNE O".

Juno exceeded 250,000 mph on it's final approach to Jupiter. That should make it the fastest human built object yet.

What's that 4/10,000th of the speed of light?

Just travel 40,000,000,000,000 kilometers with weak solar power through high radiation, to reach a planet that probably doesn't have free oxygen in the atmosphere.

A claim is made that fossil stromatolites in Greenland are the oldest discovered at 3.7 billion years. This tops Australia's stromatolite fossils, dated at 3.48 billion years, and puts it in the time before there was chlorophyll and atmospheric oxygen.

With that sort of attitude we would still be back in Europe. Or even Africa.

To infinity and beyond!
