The Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night this Saturday, November 26, 2016. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley. Our speaker this month is Tim Gasparrini, the Juno program manager for Lockheed Martin Aerospace who is the builder of the Juno spacecraft. Tim will tell us about the Juno spacecraft and its mission to investigate the unknowns of massive Jupiter. On Monday, July 4, 2016, after an almost five-year journey to the solar sysJuno spacecraft in Jupiter Orbit tem’s largest planet, NASA’s Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Juno’s principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence of a solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, and observe the planet’s auroras. The mission also will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system.
