Today's Webtip: All About Juno

wondering what the big deal is? Here are some stories that might make it more clear.

Yesterday the Juno probe successfully entered into it's orbit around Jupiter. It's still cool that missions like this can make headlines, but it would usually bench to get a little bit more information that is available in a 30 second slot on broadcast.

Fortunately, NASA has a pretty good grip on their PR and a small army of people who like to tell the tales. They also know how to make some pretty nifty things that are very easy to share. I mean, how cool is it that a space mission has its own trailer?

They also have a penchant for letting people do AMA's at Reddit. This mission is no different, and yesterday team members of the Juno mission spent some time taking questions.

For those of you who just want a quick rundown of the whole thing, you can read about what comes next at www.theguardian.com, get some insights into the tech behind the mission at techcrunch.com, or just completely geek out at the mission page at www.nasa.gov
