Congratulations JUNO Probe

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Fabulous scientific achievement shows that despite all the medieval Middle Eastern madness and Westminster moronics, there are pointers which show us that mankind still has a core resolution to explore and progress.

I loved the description from a scientist yesterday that the pressure at the centre of Jupiter , where hydrogen is in a metallic state , is the equivalent of a thousand elephants on top of each other with the bottom one wearing as stiletto. Prove it I say! Quite superb simile.
Can't find the BBC link page , they must have removed it, but it was good to read.

I still look at pictures of the surface of Mars with awe, I find it all fascinating. I've always fancied having a decent telescope to look at space.

 

[RandyWanger]

Massive achievement.

Hopefully we might find some aliens there

Who needs 'experts'?

Hopefully we might find some aliens there

and then how long would it be until they are over here taking our benefits.

Jupitexit?

The probe took 5 years to get there so I think we'll be OK for a while

It makes wonder if the probe circling the atmos on Jupiter could be affecting the weather on planet earth, could explain our worst summer ever

Just look at the Amex after 85 minutes, plenty of space there

But seriously I would love to llook through a 'proper' scope at the heavens in a dark place.

Vote out of the Solar System?

I like to look at the heavens in a happy place.

"Receipt of the radio messages prompted wild cheering at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California."

Is that what constitutes wild cheering these days?

Wasn't there several days this year where the Sun was free of sunspots?

There was an awkward moment when one of the them started high fiving people and the boffins he was trying to high five reluctantly participated in what is frankly an activity about a million intellects below them!

GTR are looking into using the same technology to see if they can get a Train on time within the next 5 years . (good luck with that )

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's just fantastic. Mind-boggling calculations involved to plan to send something that far into distant space with a target five years away and execute that plan perfectly and have it go into orbit on 4th July.

The human race is truly remarkable at times.

Still can't construct a bag for pasta that doesn't split or a lid for milk that the little tab doesn't rip off though.
