It is currently the furthest spacecraft ever to be powered by solar arrays, and will be until NASA\u2019s newly set out Lucy spacecraft reaches the first of Jupiter\u2019s Trojan asteroids in 2027. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Juno is already responsible for a heap of breakthroughs made throughout its mission. Most notability, being the first mission to closely study, and photograph, Jupiter\u2019s north pole \u2013 a large bluish region full of giant storms and strange dynamic weather. In the past, the data collected from over the northern pole have showed how these spiraling planet-size storms smack together as they spin, but don\u2019t merge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, last year the spacecraft solved a water mystery that has stumped scientists for decades. In 1995 the now-departed Galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere and found that it was unexpectedly dry \u2013 Possessing 10 times less water than scientists expected. But was this actually the case? It turns out the answer was no. Thanks to Juno\u2019s Microwave Radiometer (MWR), NASA scientists were able to confirm that previous hypotheses were correct and that there was even an abundance of water in atmospheric regions near the gas giant\u2019s equator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From these discoveries, revealed by NASA in the past, one thing is certain \u2013 Juno does not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anticipated event will take place at 3 p.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 28 at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, which is where the mission is operated. The panel of participants includes Lucas Paganini (Juno program scientist), Marzia Parisi (Juno scientist at JPL), Keren Duer (Juno scientist at Weizmann Institute of Science), and others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tune into the virtual media briefing live on NASA TV or NASA\u2019s YouTube channel.
