After an almost five-year journey to the solar system’s largest planet, our Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth at 11:53 p.m. EDT Monday, July 4. Juno captured this unique time-lapse movie of the Galilean satellites in motion about Jupiter. The movie begins on June 12th with Juno 10 million miles from Jupiter, and ends on June 29th, 3 million miles distant. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/

NASA's Juno spacecraft is closing in on Jupiter! The spacecraft launched five years ago -- and will soon orbit our solar system's largest planet to improve our understanding of its formation and evolution. Jupiter is believed to hold a key piece of the puzzle on how the planets formed billions of years ago. Photos via NASA's Juno Mission to Jupiter | FOX 11 Los Angeles
