An aging spacecraft more than a decade into its mission may soon undertake one of the most ambitious maneuvers in modern ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft will come closer to Jupiter's moon Io on Dec. 30 than any spacecraft has in 20 years, getting a good look at the solar system's most volcanic body.

Scientists propose that NASA's Juno probe could intercept the recently discovered interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, providing a close examination of this enigmatic celestial object.

Since NASA's Juno spacecraft entered Jupiter's orbit in July 2016 and began transmitting image data, the world has gotten glimpses of the solar system's largest planet and its moons.

Juno was originally set for a fiery death in Jupiter's atmosphere in 2021, but NASA extended its mission through September 2025 so it could observe Ganymede, Io, and Europa more closely.

Juno has also recently been imaging Jupiter’s innermost moo, Io. This world is, the most volcanic in the solar system, with eruptions orders of magnitude bigger than anything similar on Earth.

"Juno first entered safe mode at 5:17 a.m. EDT, about an hour before its 71st close passage of Jupiter — called perijove," NASA said in a statement. "It went into safe mode again 45 minutes ...

Juno has performed more than 50 flybys of Jupiter and flown more than 510 million miles. It arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, with the first science flyby occurring 53 days later.

During its 51st orbit of Jupiter on Tuesday, May 16, NASA's Juno spacecraft imaged Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system from just 22,060 miles—the closest yet.

Today at exactly 9:57 and 48 seconds a.m. PDT, NASA’s Juno spacecraft was 5.5 million miles (8.9 million kilometers) from its July 4th appointment with Jupiter. Over the past two weeks, several ...

When NASA’s Juno spacecraft pointed a sensitive instrument toward the belly of the largest planet in the Solar System, it detected something peculiar: A jet hidden deep below Jupiter’s atmosphere.

After an almost five-year journey to the solar system’s largest planet, NASA’s Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn ...
