But now, a Danish instrument is aiding the long running science mission -- to map radiation bursts at Lord Jupiter. Here's the latest:
. . .Using cameras designed for navigation, scientists count ‘fireflies’ to determine the amount of radiation the spacecraft receives during each orbit of Jupiter.
Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission have developed the first complete 3D radiation map of the Jupiter system. Along with characterizing the intensity of the high-energy particles near the orbit of the icy moon Europa, the map shows how the radiation environment is sculpted by the smaller moons orbiting near Jupiter’s rings.
The work relies on data collected by Juno’s Advanced Stellar Compass (ASC), which was designed and built by the Technical University of Denmark, and the spacecraft’s Stellar Reference Unit (SRU), which was built by Leonardo SpA in Florence, Italy. The two datasets complement each other, helping Juno scientists characterize the radiation environment at different energies. . . .
[And separately, NASA will now make a decision by August 30, on how Butch and Suni will get their ride home.] Now you know -- after a great first night in Chicago. Will Beyoncé and/or Taylor Swift show up by Thursday? We shall see. Onward, grinning -- Tangerine's deep fake did him more harm than good. Flawless.
