Juno

NASA's Juno spacecraft sweeps over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and makes a 3D map of the giant storm. The findings could shed light on gas giant exoplanets in distant solar systems.

The NASA has spotted enormous cyclones at the gas giant's north and south poles. The probe has also returned other data that have project scientists scratching their heads.

Jupiter - the Roman God of the Sky and Thunder, King of the gods, and the name given to the largest planet in our solar system. It's a planet so large that, not including the sun, the rest of the solar system would fit inside with plenty of room to spare.

Jupiter's moons are named after the god's many lovers. According to mythology, when Jupiter thought his wife suspected him of cheating, he turned himself into a cloud to cover his affairs.

Now, NASA has sent the Juno Spacecraft, named after Jupiter's wife, to discover just what Jupiter has hidden beneath its clouds.

Enjoy Juno's trip to Jupiter — after that we'll see a little gap in planetary science missions from the U.S. That's because a NASA budget crunch several years ago left fewer missions in the pipeline.
