说明: 下一站：木星。上周又是一次历史性的发射任务，火箭以太空船无法再回头的高速，航向外太空。嗯，其实是几乎不会回头的速度。事实上，Juno的航道计画在两年后靠近地球，利用地球重力推进到更高的速度，使其足以抵达木星。影片中，Atlas V火箭搭载着Juno升空。当<ahref="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG7pRfTvDxs">Juno探测船在2016年抵达木星后，预订绕行这颗太阳系最大的行星一年以上，利用唯一个核心仪器来探测行星，并将木星的原始资料与结构资讯传送回来。最后，Juno将会潜入到浓厚的木星大气里，在Juno高温融化摧毁之前，竭尽所能的撷取数据。

Explanation: Next stop:Jupiter.Last week included one of the few times in history thathumanity launchedsomething completely off the Earth, moving away so fast that it will never return. Well, almost --Juno's planned trajectory actually brings it homeward bound in about two years, zipping by, this time using the Earth'sgravity to pullit to an even higher speed, high enough toreach Jupiter.The above video depicts the launch of Juno aboard aAtlas V rocket.When the roboticJun<ahref="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG7pRfTvDxs">o spacecraft reaches Jupiter in 2016, it will spend just over a year circling the Solar System'slargest planet, using its unique cadre of instruments to probe the planet,sending back clues of its structure and origin.ThenJuno will be instructed to dive into the thick atmosphere of the Jovian giant, taking as much data as it can before it melts.
