JPL site clicky

From reading, it is immense and that article does mention it is the largest structure in the solar system.

Looking at the orbit for Juno, the planned ones that is, they are very particular to avoid the hottest parts where they can. Running the simulation the first time, I thought it was a one pass trick or the simulator had it wrong.

Tomorrows the day the British built motor has to work for 20 minutes.

Hope it does not see tma 2.

Jut finished a book with medusa mentioned. However, I am interested in the environment so to speak. Pretty harsh place, pics will be a bonus.

Arthur C Clarke's 'A Meeting with Medusa'?

Also appears in 2010 IIRC

A recent tome by Stephen Baxter an Alistair Reynolds. Which uses the book by mr Clarke as the back story for the book and expands on it with some interesting idea's as it living in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Reasonably safely.....

[jmorgan]
