ProtoJeb21 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If I'm correct, the burn has started! Let's hope Juno doesn't get fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Steve Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Either the burn should have started and we won't know if it will work for half an hour (lightspeed delay) or it started 30 minutes ago and is finished burning and we just got confirmation that it started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFastJellyfish Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Yeah, there is a 48 minute lag time. So, technically, it has already finished it's burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 People are curiously watching the open fire torch near the greatest balloon of hydrogen around and guessing; how is it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly solar pannels, but the size of Juno is quite impressive. That's bigger than every other probe that has ever visited Jupiter before! Just now, kerbiloid said: People are curiously watching the open fire torch near the greatest balloon of hydrogen around and guessing; how is it going. When you put it like that, it makes Juno's current goal a lot more dangerous than what it may be. Not that it needs any more threats.

SuperFastJellyfish Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I love that NASA's Eyes on the Solar System is being heavily used in this event. It's such a great tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnison Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 2788 Miles from Jupiter and it has reach Perihelion! and is traveling at 129,000 Miles and hour with main engine still burning, besides the Galieo probe it is the closest and fastest any probe has been to Jupiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
