Juno, Jupiter, and jupiters: How a low cost planetary mission has revolutionized our understanding of giant planets
Jonathan Lunine,
Juno arrived in orbit around Jupiter in July 2016, and the data it returned immediately began overturning what we thought we knew about the interior and atmosphere of the solar system's largest planet. In this talk I will pick the four most amazing (to me) things Juno data has taught us, and what implications it holds for interpreting data on giant planets elsewhere.
