Juno / Jupiter Probe

TweetAnyone else catch this one the news? They sent this probe called Juno to Jupiter 5 years ago and it just reached Jupiter's orbit on July 4th. Pretty crazy the things we can do. We now have a probe orbiting Jupiter. I think it will orbit the planet for the next two years before descending into the atmosphere which will destroy the probe.

Tweetyeah brother, that is fascinating. I cannot wait to see what they find.

TweetIt's crazy that we actually have a probe orbiting another planet. I saw a report that said the probe made a second pass by earth before beginning its journey to Jupiter. When it made the second pass, thousands of amateur radio operators across the globe transmitted "Hi" in morris code and the probe picked it up lol. They played the recording of it. Sounds kinda creepy, but super cool.

TweetYou and me both! Just fascinating to me how they can hit the mark and put something in orbit that far away lol.
