This topic will consist of discussion of Juno operations post-JOI until end of mission, currently anticipated in Feb 2018.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Oh, the Great (but elusive) Red Spot. For us part time amateur astronomers (work, clouds, weather etc)
our friend is very shy. About 2 months ago, peering through a fellow Society members, nice 10" f5 Newtonian, it was a case of bullseye. There it was, just coming into view on the eastern limb. For me, being absent due to the above factors, it was several years. For others, it was first time or more than 20 years. Has the spot livened up or was the weather at our deep sky site ideal and the timing spot on. Also, initially I could see only 3 of the Galilean moons. But one of our young members, accessing SkySafari, said there should be 4. Fair enough, closer inspection saw Europa in conjunction with Io. Over a matter of half an hour, they slowly drew apart. Maybe not Juno, but definitely Jupiter, King of the Planets. |
