This is very cool stuff.

me too Ayin.    Did you watch the moons going around the planet....   on the left side they were doing eclipses as they went through Jupiters shadow.

Yes, this is very exciting. The sad part is we probably won't learn the best things about Jupiter and it's moons with this probe. It will most likely take several more and I doubt I will be around for that. I hope this probe discovers whether or not Jupiter has a solid core because I have always thought it does. It's a pity we have to wait until at least August to get more information. I'm impatient.
