JUNO The Spacecraft

As most of you know, Juno is one of the famous movie about a teenage girl with unplanned pregnancy struggle in her life in order to give birth and send her baby for adoption. But no, we're not discussing about Juno the film, but Juno the spacecraft.

As most of you didn't know, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has sent a spacecraft whose purpose is discovering more about the planet Jupiter. The spacecraft was given the name Juno, following the goddess as well as wife of the God Jupiter who can see Jupiter's true nature even after thick cloud drew by him to hide his behavior. Read the meaning of the planet names here.


Juno was sent in order to gain data about the planet gravity field, magnetic field, planet composition, the solid rocky core, the presence of water and many more. Basically, to understand the secret of the husband, we ask the wife. Below is a video explaining what Juno does, its mission and the astrophysicists hope it can achieved.
