You may have noticed from the google Doodle today that the people of Earth have reached a new scientific milestone. After 5 long years Juno, NASA's awesome space probe has reached it's destination, JUPITER!!! I cannot wait to see what NASA scientists discover over the next 20 months (the time predicted before Juno succumbs to the crushing radiation emitted from this gigantic planet. :( )

Oddly enough, George and I were discussing Jupiter just last night....We had no clue this was about to occur because we haven't had a working TV for nearly 2 months. (A blessing at times but as you can imagine we can be left in the dark if we fail to check internet news sources which I must confess I am guilty of. :mrgreen: ) So what joy to read this today. :D

Anyhow I am so excited. :bana:
love,
Sandy
