pls don't tell me that's the best it can do

Calm thy tits, young one.

Here's a photo that JunoCam took during the Earth flyby on October 9, 2013, to whet your appetite for the quality of images that we will eventually get from JunoCam, come August.

The photos will be spectacular.

Media briefing starting.

Instrasting

 

[Extollere]

This sounds dangerous with the craft passing through Jupiter's belt of debris.

 

[Culex]

We need a continuous high res orbiter around Europa and Titan. Saturn and Jupiter's moons always thrilled me.

 

[Bearjewpiter]

Not sure if this has been linked yet but here you can see a very nice visualization of where Juno is in real time.

Steam had a nod to Juno.

that's awesome

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Last photo taken by Juno before they shut the camera off.

That would be great. I think NASA mentioned that Juno passed by Europa and soon, Lo. I think the camera might be shut off at this point, but I'm hoping Juno took pictures of them.

 

[golem]

2 hours pole to pole, Juno must be blazing

 

[AxelFoley]

So close now. Always blows my mind how huge Jupiter is.

That's what she said.

 

[GK86]

NASA expects Juno to discover new moons. Well, at least that one guy expects it.

 

[RangerBAD]

I can't wait to see the monoliths.

 

[everyday math]

That's what she said.

Ha ha ha you're sooo funny. 😝

You'd think the Galileo probe would have found all there is.

 

[fallout]

You'd think the Galileo probe would have found all there is.

It could have missed some due to its orbit. We've never even the poles of Jupiter.

 

[Media]

Subbed, this is incredibly exciting. Also, loving how they are sending Juno to check up on Jupiter.

NASA is currently investigating a Europa focused orbiter for the 2020s. And then a lander two years later.

[sphinx]

is this like x20 the speed or what am I seeing here?

 

[GK86]

^Juno's view as it approached Jupiter. Can see the moons as well.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

is this like x20 the speed or what am I seeing here?

Of course it's sped up. You wouldn't see the moons orbiting that fast.

 

[Jedi2016]

Hubble took this photo:

No it didn't.

That blue aurora on Jupiter looks like it doesn't belong there. It doesn't fit with the overall colors of the planet at all.

Because it doesn't.

The aurora was captured in the infrared, and it's the only thing visible in the photo that Hubble took. What's been going around the uneducated news sites is a poor man's Photoshop of what they think it's supposed to look like. Jupiter's auroras are visible, but they don't look anything like that shitty "photo".

 

[Disxo]

So excited, is new info coming at this very moment? I really dont care about the pictures, but they are still nice.

Is the atmosphere actually dry?

 

[GK86]

^No info. Juno's instruments have been turned off until it gets into orbit.

 

[Disxo]

The wait is killing me >.>
Hey, Uruguay is in that picture above!

I thought Uruguay was a pretend country from Roald Dahl, like "Peru" from Paddington Bear.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Is there a stream or something we can watch?

There are more streaming links in the OP. Coverage will start at 10:30pm Eastern.

On the other hand, I'm from Peru and I had no idea we actually had bears.

We do not have retirement homes for bears though.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Seriously, we've been spoiled by streams for pretty much every event. Just a couple people in a nondescript room at NASA shooting the shit about the project while providing updates would be enough for me.

Oh excellent, thanks.

 

[Disxo]

Still nothing, gonna play some ksp in the meantime.

Pretend country? That's new haha.
If it were, we wouldnt have less than 6000 dollars as minimum wage.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

What is this stream going to show? When they get picture in?

 

[Disxo]

Data about the onboard instruments, doubt it will be a picture though.
Correct me if I am wrong

 

[The Sum of Zero]

We're getting there. Hopefully all goes well.

 

[Kaako]

This is exciting, can't wait for more pics/footage of the voyage. Thanks for the informative thread and updates.

Live stream will be of NASA's HQ. Seeing the engineers and different personnel react as Juno approaches Jupiter. As well as data on the big screen for when they find out if the mission was a success or not.

They could keep the cameras on the people and I would find it fascinating. They have waited five long years for this moment. And everything until the last moment has to go right for Juno to enter into orbit.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Absolutely excited about this

As have I, can remember when the mission launched. I love the payoff from these things. The Pluto thing was epic. It launched during my first year in college. Seeing the pictures when they came out was amazing. I wish we had dozens of these missions going on at the same time. Explore, explore, explore.
