Achievement unlocked: NASA's Juno spaceship is now in Jupiter's orbit  

Nearly five years after it was first launched in August 2011, NASA's Juno spaceship has finally entered Jupiter's orbit. At 11:53PM ET/8:53PM PT, the space agency received confirmation that the spacecraft had turned on its main engine, which burned for 35 minutes to slow down and allow Juno to be drawn in by Jupiter's gravitational pull. Engine burn complete and orbit obtained. I'm ready to unlock all your secrets, #Jupiter. Deal with it. — NASA's Juno Mission (@NASAJuno) July 5, 2016 It's a monumental achievement for NASA: the feat saw Juno cover 445 million miles in space to get closer to Jupiter than…
