The Juno space probe was launched by NASA on 5th August 2011. It would reach Jupiter in about 5 years – on 4th July 2016 – and would orbit the planet for 20 months before falling down and dying.
The space probe is named after Juno, the wife of Roman God Jupiter. The probe carries three Lego mini figures made out of aluminium. They are of Jupiter, Juno and Galileo Galilei.
