Get Ready for the Great American Eclipse On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total eclipse of the Sun will make a path across the continental U.S. With less than a year to go, it is time to prepare for your experience of this event. We are asking Radio JOVE observers in North America and beyond to make radio observations before, during, and after this eclipse.

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Collecting Data at Jupiter The Juno spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016. It was placed into a polar orbit to study Jupiter's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. See the Juno Mission Pages for the latest information.
