What has NASA's Juno discovered around Jupiter so far? (3 year update)

The video discusses Juno's mission to Jupiter, highlighting its discoveries over three years. Juno has provided insights into Jupiter's radiation belts, magnetic field, and interior structure. The spacecraft's design allows it to withstand harsh conditions and gather data on Jupiter's atmosphere and auroras. Juno's findings challenge previous theories about Jupiter's core and atmosphere, revealing a complex structure with a deep atmosphere and metallic hydrogen. The mission continues to enhance our understanding of Jupiter and its role in the solar system.
