Yet Another Graceful Deep Dive, By Juno -- Around Mighty Lord Jupiter, Tonight...


And... like other passes, around a heavenly body -- this one unfolds below, with unwasted grace, overnight:

. . . .I’m now inbound for my next close pass by Jupiter! Current speed relative to the planet: 55,000 mph (89,000 kilometers per hour). At closest approach I’ll come within about 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) of the cloud tops at speeds of about 130,000 mph (209,000 kph). . . .


Now you know. . . smiling in spite of myself. . . onward, to tomorrow.
