NASA Eyes on the Solar System: Juno Mission to Jupiter

Today I’d like to share with you the awesome things I learned while attending the Juno NASATweetup, held August 4-5, 2011. We heard exciting details from many mission scientists, got a behind-the-scenes tour of Kennedy Space Center and watched Juno launch atop its giant Atlas V rocket! Here’s a short set of videos I took at the NASATweetup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3D2avuHIqo

To show you Juno and its mission ahead, I’m using the “Eyes on the Solar System” program from NASA/JPL. Its a real-time solar system exploration tool, similar to Celestia as you may have seen in previous videos of mine. You can try Eyes on the Solar System for yourself, here: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/eyes/
