- According to a new study based on information sent by JUNO, Jupiter has a “fuzzy core” that includes lighter elements like helium and hydrogen. According to scientists, this could be explained by a head-on collision with a still-forming planet about 10 times the size of Earth.
- Further, scientists have attempted to explain why Jupiter’s stripes are only skin deep. The blue strips captured in photographs are far zonal winds (alternating east-west jet streams) around Jupiter that descend to a depth about 4 percent of Jupiter’s radius.
- Juno is a NASA space mission orbiting the planet Jupiter. It was launched in 2011. The principal goal of Juno is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter.
- The Juno mission is the second spacecraft designed under NASA’s New Frontiers Program. The first is the Pluto New Horizons mission.
