TheMastersSon Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) To interested astronomy buffs, NASA's Juno spacecraft will be making its first close flyby of Jupiter this Saturday (8/27). It's the closest planned encounter in the mission, passing somewhere between 2600 and 2800 miles above Jupiter's cloudtops. Should make for some stunning and unprecedented images. :smile: Also, for those who didn't know already, NASA has a utility that displays Juno's current location, and locations of other spacecraft on other missions: http://eyes.nasa.gov/ Edited August 25, 2016 by TheMastersSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Ah I missed this the other day! :) It should have some great images. My husband and I enjoy going out and watching the ISS fly over. We really need to invest in a small telescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
