Juno Arriving at Jupiter!

The video discusses NASA's Juno mission, launched in 2011 to study Jupiter. Juno aims to uncover how Jupiter formed and operates, using various scientific instruments to probe its atmosphere and magnetic field. The mission includes public involvement through JunoCam, allowing people to vote on photo targets. Juno faces challenges like limited power, relying on solar energy. The mission will end by steering Juno into Jupiter to avoid contaminating Europa. Future missions, such as Clipper, are also mentioned.
