Happening now: I’m passing low over the cloud tops of Jupiter, as simulated here by the : NASA_Eyes visualization. Current speed relative to Jupiter: 128,000 mph (206,000 kilometers per hour) and rising. Get the latest mission news at missionjuno.swri.edu.
In the next few hours I’ll be making my 28th close pass by Jupiter (as simulated here by NASA Solar System’s Eyes on the Solar System: eyes.nasa.gov). Learn more about my mission at missionjuno.swri.edu.
