    A monumental "discovery". In quotes because something like it was observed in I think in the 1930s but this is unmistakable evidence.

    LIGO is amazing. The experiment boggles the mind. Basically, LIGO has the accuracy to detect the "bending" of space-time such that, in the experiment executed, it is able to tell equivalently that the Milky way would have shrunk due to the gravitational waves by the width of your thumb. When you realize that the Milky Way is 100,000 light years (one light years is 6 TRILLION miles) across, you do the math!

    After having checked out Jupiter and its moons many times over the past few years with my telescope, I'm really excited about our spacecraft getting so close. I can't wait to see the pictures!

    I agree it is very exciting. Jupiter is so bizarre, we are likely to be completely amazed.

    What if we find the monolith there :wtf:

    I was just today wondering why you hadn't posted something about Juno, and then this thread came to the top (haven't been to ET for a while. I just watched the trailer earlier today). As someone who has spent time in meteorology (Aerographer's mate, USN), I look forward to learning more about the storms on Jupiter more than anything else, though everything about the planet is fascinating.
