Juno arrived at the giant planet nearly two years ago and has been mapping the giant planet\u2019s magnetic field as well as analyzing its composition. It circles Jupiter in a 53-day orbit rather than the originally planned 14-day orbit, due to worries about valves on the probe\u2019s fuel system. A panel of experts determined that the updated plan will give the $1 billion mission enough time to achieve its primary science objectives despite the orbital limitations. The update also means there\u2019ll be more of those&nbsp;sweet, sweet pictures from the JunoCam imager.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1RhvaUD8SF8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jupiter shows off its bands of clouds in an image captured during the Juno probe\u2019s Perijove 13 encounter last month.
