Google, you're awsome, GAF you are too. I love science and humanity at times like this. Perfect 4th for me.
 
Still no official word if Juno is pointed at the Sun yet or not.

No, no official word. Big room full of media here at JPL who'd love to hear more updates on spacecraft status.

Wonder if they're saving that for the next livestream.

EDIT:
Team at @NASAJPL don’t think absence of news is worrying - asked for confirmation ahead of press conference so we can all calm down #juno

All rays on me. My solar panels now face the sun. I’m the farthest solar-powered spacecraft from Earth. #Jupiter

To those 900 people, thank you all! Very well done. I still can't believe they made it to within one second of their projections. Incredible.
 
Its nice to see everyones hard work coming to fruition. Such an awesome accomplishment. Hopefully everything goes well from here on out. I really wish there was as much interest in this stuff from people as the much less amazing and talented things people find joy in these days.
 
E3 was a mistake.

So cool. Wish they didn't have to shut the cam off for closer look :/

Late August is soo far away! Then again can't imagine what the wait was like for this team.

#Juno recorded #Jupiter's moons in orbit during its approach. It's the first time we've ever captured full orbit of other celestial bodies.
 
I hope that video is released online. Blows my mind. Guys we just saw fucking Jupiter and its moons orbiting it in motion. The future is bright for space exploration.

This is so awesome.

Socreges: It caught a 'video' of sorts of the Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter as Juno approached. It's really incredible.
