The Juno spacecraft, which arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, aims to enhance our understanding of the solar system's origins by studying Jupiter's formation and evolution. During its primary mission, Juno uncovered complex atmospheric dynamics and details about Jupiter's interior and magnetic field. NASA extended Juno's mission by four years to explore the Jovian system further, including flybys of the Galilean moons and studies of Jupiter's rings and the Great Blue Spot.
