Juno hits Jupiter's orbit tonight at 8:18 PDT. Here's how to watch this once in a lifetime event from your computer.

I'll be there in total awe and with popcorn.

@Cripplecreek are you on a computer? I'm on an iPad it's not working as well as I would like.

I hear it will have an extremely irregular orbit, on purpose.

Yeah. Its going to be making some very close passes around the planet so its going to be hauling ass at closest approaches than heading out for the next pass.

During its closest pass tonight it will be moving at over 100,000 miles per hour.

probably designed this way to minimize exposure to the heaviest radiation, plus gives them a lot of different angles to study things

Gittin with it now.

Distance is down to 200,000 miles from jupiter. Speed is up to 58,000 mph and increasing by more than 1 mph per second

@Cripplecreek @geronl did you see there are three Lego figurines on the Juno craft? How neat is this?

This story had the best pictures. Enjoy- everyone.

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

They didn't include a very good camera, the camera was an afterthought apparently. To get Hubble-quality images it'd have to be within 30K kilometers of Jupiter. It's not going to get any good images of the moons either. The original idea was that it would be used to get a "deep view" of Jupiter.

Some of the instruments on JUNO are expected to last as little as eight orbits because of the radiation,

geronl · « **Reply #22 on:** July 04, 2016, 10:43:56 pm »

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.

geronl · « **Reply #23 on:** July 04, 2016, 10:47:16 pm »

It is expected to last 37 orbits, of course the first orbits will last a very long time

Cripplecreek · « **Reply #24 on:** July 04, 2016, 10:50:26 pm »

40,00 miles out and approaching 100,000 mph.

Orbital Insertion Burn, it's very very very critical

17,400 lb of fuel will be burned

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.......

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.
