Juno - NASA Science
Juno is part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program, which is managed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space in Denver built and operates the spacecraft. Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What is the Juno mission? A: Juno is a solar-powered spacecraft sent to Jupiter – the first and largest planet in our solar system – to learn how it formed, and by extension how the solar system formed. Q: When was Juno launched and when did it arrive at Jupiter? A: Juno launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Aug. 5, 2011, and went into orbit around Jupiter nearly five years later, on July 4, 2016.Q: What are the main objectives of the Juno mission? A: The spacecraft is investigating the origin and evolution of Jupiter, looking for its planetary core, mapping its magnetic field, measuring water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, observing auroras, and studying Jupiter’s moons and dust rings, among other things.Q: What instruments does Juno carry, and what are they used for? A: Juno carries instruments to measure Jupiter’s electric and magnetic fields, particles, and plasma waves, and record the planet’s clouds, rings, aurora, and satellites in low-light, visible light, ultra-violet light, and infra-red light. In addition, Juno’s radio signal is used to measure Jupiter’s gravity field and upper atmosphere, and those of three of Jupiter’s four Galilean satellites.Q: What significant discoveries has Juno made? A: Juno is shedding light on Jupiter’s internal structure, showing that bands in the planet’s colorful, turbulent atmosphere descend far below the cloud tops, and that its mammoth magnetic field is even larger and more powerful than predicted. It has also revealed the size of Jupiter’s core, and helped scientists understand the amount of oxygen in the planet’s chemical makeup, which previously was a key missing ingredient for helping explain how the planet formed.Q: How long will the Juno mission last? A: The Juno mission, originally slated to explore Jupiter from 2016-2017, was extended by NASA, and is now scheduled to end in September 2025.Q: What will happen to Juno at the end of the mission?

Student Project: NASA Space Voyagers: The Game | NASA/JPL Edu
End the round and get a new challenge Once all players have had a turn, it's time to end the round: Tally up the research value of any spacecraft and instruments used (tapped) in the round and subtract their research value from the destination's total. Now, the destination also gets a turn, and may cause damage to your spacecraft. Roll the dice to see what impacts there are to your spacecraft. Tally the damages by placing sticky notes, pennies, or other markers on applicable cards and removing those that reach zero durability. And subtract the value of any damages from each applicable spacecrafts’ durability. Note that: Damages are permanent and cumulative as turns continue throughout the game. Spacecraft that reach zero durability have failed and are removed from play. Some spacecraft and instruments have special abilities that allow them to withstand damages, so be sure to read the cards carefully. When you're ready to start a new round, untap any resources or spacecraft you used the previous round.

9. Complete your mission To win the game, you must fully explore your destination (subtract the total research value) before running out of cards. Remember, playing with others will prove beneficial as your destinations get more advanced.+ Expand image

10. Check back for new missions and planets to explore! Our solar system is full of exciting mysteries to uncover, and NASA is building new and more complex spacecraft all the time. Check back often to see when new expansion sets are released.

Asteroid or Meteor: What's the Difference? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Most asteroids in our solar system can be found in the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter.
Meteoroids
Sometimes one asteroid can smash into another. This can cause small pieces of the asteroid to break off. Those pieces are called meteoroids. Meteoroids can also come from comets.

Meteors
If a meteoroid comes close enough to Earth and enters Earth’s atmosphere, it vaporizes and turns into a meteor: a streak of light in the sky.
Because of their appearance, these streaks of light are sometimes called "shooting stars." But meteors are not actually stars.

At certain times of the year, you might be lucky enough to see more meteors in the sky than usual. This is called a meteor shower. This photo was taken during the Perseid meteor shower, which happens each year in August. Image credit: NASA/JPL
Because meteors leave streaks of light in the sky, they are sometimes confused with comets. However, these two things are very different.

Comets
Comets orbit the Sun, like asteroids. But comets are made of ice and dust—not rock.
As a comet’s orbit takes it toward the Sun, the ice and dust begin to vaporize. That vaporized ice and dust become the comet’s tail. You can see a comet even when it is very far from Earth. However, when you see a meteor, it’s in our atmosphere.

Meteorites
Sometimes meteoroids don’t vaporize completely in the atmosphere. In fact, sometimes they survive their trip through Earth’s atmosphere and land on the Earth’s surface. When they land on Earth, they are called meteorites.

A scientist investigates a meteorite that landed in Sudan's Nubian Desert in 2008. Image credit: NASA
NASA’s Johnson Space Center has a collection of meteorites that have been collected from many different locations on Earth. The collection acts as a meteorite library for scientists. By studying different types of meteorites, scientists can learn more about asteroids, planets and other parts of our solar system.
Earth Matters
It was acquired on March 17, 2024, less than two months after the launch of NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite. Congratulations to Dan Taylor for being the first to correctly identify the bloom and its location. Special mention goes to Robert Taylor for providing a detailed answer, and to Timotheus Fasana, who was the only person to correctly guess the satellite and instrument. Read more about the bloom in our Image of the Day story.
Every month on Earth Matters, we offer a puzzling satellite image. The April 2024 puzzler is shown above. Your challenge is to use the comments section to tell us where it is, what we are looking at, and why it is interesting. The location of this puzzler might be relatively easy to identify, so bonus points go to those who weigh in on the “what” and “why.” 
How to answer. You can use a few words or several paragraphs. You might simply tell us the location, or you can dig deeper and offer details about what satellite and instrument produced the image, what spectral bands were used to create it, or what is compelling about some obscure feature. If you think something is interesting or noteworthy, tell us about it.
The prize. We cannot offer prize money or a trip on the International Space Station, but we can promise you credit and glory. Well, maybe just credit. Within a week after a puzzler image appears on this blog, we will post an annotated and captioned version as our Image of the Day. After we post the answer, we will acknowledge the first person to correctly identify the image at the bottom of this blog post. We also may recognize readers who offer the most interesting tidbits of information. Please include your preferred name or alias with your comment. If you work for or attend an institution that you would like to recognize, please mention that as well.
Recent winners. If you have won the puzzler in the past few months, or if you work in geospatial imaging, please hold your answer for at least a day to give less experienced readers a chance.
Releasing comments. Savvy readers have solved some puzzlers after a few minutes.
