Eyes on Juno
https://eyes.nasa.gov/eyes-on-juno.html
After a journey of more than 5 years, the Juno spacecraft is ready for its detailed look at Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.
Using Eyes on the Solar System and simulated data from the Juno flight team you can ride on board the spacecraft using “Eyes on Juno” on your Mac or PC.
In this interactive visualization, you can ride along with the Juno spacecraft in real-time at any time during the entire mission. For example, watch the arrival at Jupiter on the 4th of July, 2016, or see Juno use Earth’s gravity as a slingshot to pick up speed, or just learn about the science of Jupiter and about the spacecraft itself. You can even turn on and off the magnetic field, aurorae, and the radiation belt, all in 3D! All of this and more is waiting to be explored.
My God, it’s full of stars!
Riigghhttt, and I bet you think we really landed on the moon too. </tinfoilhat>

We are watching, thanks.

Fantastic stuff. Go Juno!
As Western science reaches out to the stars, it is sobering to contemplate that elsewhere men are brutally killing each other because they have not learned much in 5,000 years!
Make sure your tray tables are in an upright position.
Neat animation of the Juno spacecraft trajectory. It did a giant slingshot maneuver in the inner solar system before heading out toward Jupiter.
I will predict Jupiter is a lifeless rock not worth the spending.

Great work! Juno is now in orbit!
And how much does this project cost? another few billion to siphon from the public? ridiculous.....
