The four-ton (when launched) Juno spacecraft entered Jupiter\u0026rsquo;s orbit on July 4, 2016 and began sending data to the Juno mission team, so they can study its structure and decipher itshistory and that of other planets in the solar system. Steffes\u0026rsquo; specific role in the mission is to study\u0026nbsp;measurements from Juno\u0026rsquo;s microwave radiometer to examine Jupiter\u0026rsquo;s deep atmosphere in order to learn what Jupiter is made of. The prime Juno mission will end in June 2021, and NASA is now considering extending the mission.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo learn more about past findings of the Juno mission, read the Georgia Tech news release,\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/news.gatech.edu\/features\/juno-mission-reveals-jupiters-first-surprises\u0022\u003EJuno Mission Reveals Jupiter\u0026rsquo;s First Surprises\u003C\/a\u003E, which was published on May 25, 2017.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more details and highlights, the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.missionjuno.swri.edu\/\u0022\u003EMission Juno website\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;contains a detailed history of the mission and highlights of the latest science results.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe cover story for the August 6, 2020 issue of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003ENature\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;features the optical observations of lightning flashes on Jupiter made by the Juno spacecraft.
