Juno's Amazing Journey to Jupiter

The video discusses the Juno spacecraft's mission to Jupiter, highlighting its journey as the first solar-powered spacecraft to reach such a distance. Despite receiving only 4% of the sunlight compared to Earth, Juno manages to operate with limited power. The mission faces significant challenges due to high radiation levels in Jupiter's orbit. Juno aims to explore Jupiter's atmosphere, composition, and magnetic fields, providing new insights into the solar system's formation.
