Coming up at 12 midnight Eastern Time and 11 p.m. Central Time, Fraser Cain of Universe Today and his team of astronomers will be having a new Virtual Star Party!
This is their eighth one of the year, and the last one before the team goes on hiatus for the summer.
So, tune in! Always great observations and great talk about astrophotography!
NASA's Juno Probe is hours away from Jupiter! It will enter orbit at 11:53 p.m. EDT (0353 GMT on Tuesday), after it completes a 35-minute engine burn. Juno faces Jupiter's onslaught of intense radiation. There is also the debris that surrounds Jupiter. Even though the particles might be tiny, they could impact Juno at high speed. And, at that level of high energy, the probe could be potentially damaged.
So, it's a high-wire act! But, hopefully all will go well!
