Juno

Overview

Since it arrived at Jupiter in 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been probing beneath the dense, forbidding clouds encircling the giant planet — the first orbiter to peer so closely. It's looking to answer questions about the origin and evolution of Jupiter, our solar system, and giant planets across the cosmos.
