Happy Tuesday, everyone. Hope you all had a great Fourth of July holiday. A special tip of the hat to the folks at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for successfully entering the orbit of Jupiter with their Juno mission! There should be some pretty cool science to come out of that over the coming months.
