As NASA's Juno spacecraft flew through the narrow gap between Jupiter's radiation belts and the planet during its first science flyby, Perijove 1, on August 27, 2016, the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU-1) star camera collected the first image of Jupiter's ring taken from the inside looking out. The bright bands in the center of the image are the main ring of Jupiter's ring system.
While taking the ring image, the SRU was viewing the constellation Orion. The bright star above the main ring is Betelgeuse, and Orion's belt can be seen in the lower right. Juno's Radiation Monitoring Investigation actively retrieves and analyzes the noise signatures from penetrating radiation in the images of the spacecraft's star cameras and science instruments at Jupiter.
JunoCam's raw images are available at www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam for the public to peruse and process into image products.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. Juno is part of NASA's New Frontiers Program, which is managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages JPL for NASA.

couple of space things.
first off this seems neat.
Nasa announces groundbreaking Parker Solar Probe mission | Daily Mail Online
secondly, i've been a fan of this guy colin moriarty for years now. he started off with IGN and then left with a few other guys to start his own gaming video site. after doing that for two years he tweeted the most innocuous joke:
Colin Moriarty

Ah. Peace and quiet.#ADayWithoutAWoman

and of course he caught a ton of shit from everyone in the gaming industry. even his own co founders refused to defend him so he decided to quit and start his own channel where he mostly talks about politics. anyway, he has some interesting takes on various issues and is clearly well studied on the topics he chooses to discuss. his most recent video is about the moon:
not space related but i like these too:

Wolf
AI is here, time to obey our robot overlords!

oh and semi, yes we know uranus has its own thread.

Those videos are entirely too long. They need to be shortened to 10 minutes or less
that's the same thing you said when wolf and i were playing with uranus.
i'm not in love with the gadsden flag but i really like franklin's snake.
and i find it annoying that they have been co opted to be a far right symbol. they are kinda being taken back by the libertarian movement, so that's good.
