READY FOR LAUNCH... The Juno spacecraft begins its 5-year journey to Jupiter tomorrow morning. The last time the Atlas V rocket was in the flight configuration shown below was back in January of 2006, when the 200-foot-tall launch vehicle blasted off with NASA's Pluto-bound New Horizons probe onboard. New Horizons will fly past the dwarf planet in July of 2015, while Juno will arrive at the solar system's largest world on July 4 the following year. Best of luck to both missions.
