After the first pass, entering orbit the first full loop will last something like 53 days. It will pass and go way way way out the far side before coming back.

This is sooo interesting!

It will be a few days before there are any pics. Apparently they can't send them while the craft is in the dense radiation field around the planet.

Craft is currently 136,000 miles from the planet traveling 67,000 mph

I hope someone remembers to tell us...I have to many irons in the fire to keep track....but it is so very interesting!

the orbit will tighten considerably over the 37 orbits, down to about 2 weeks or something

Orbital Insertion Burn, it's very very very critical


17,400 lb of fuel will be burned

Bump for after fireworks.

Ours just finished and had a light start out here in Western Pa...lots of rain today into the night...many displays cancelled. But because of the overcast, and mist the clouds so close to the ground. it was a beautiful and unusual display as the fireworks looked like they were coming out of the clouds....and the clouds glowed ! Never saw that before so it was a treat indeed.......

Thank you. I tried to watch on an older browser to no avail. It only works on the latest browsers, apparently. It's very well done.

What's also interesting is that there was a 48 minute delay from the time the signal was sent from Juno to Nasa......so it was in truth already successfully in orbit ....this just confirmed that it worked....amazing...

I'm glad I've lived to see Viking, voyager, Pioneer, Cassini, New Horizons, and now Juno. Not to mention Hubble and the other new telescope. Oh it's Spitzer. I keep thinking he's the guy who did the DSM IV. (That's why I was confused)


Off topic I googled Lyman Spitzer. He lived where I grew up. I wish I had met him.

My brother, who is a science/math genius in Florida, and I watched this together over the internet....which is a feat itself! So it was great to hear his comments as this unfolded and thereafter.

This was a huge success.....so glad I saw it ...anxious now to see the photos Juno will collect.
