To date, Juno has sent back to NASA's control center a large amount of data, including images of Earth, Jupiter and the largest moons of our solar system's largest planet: Ganymede and Europa.
Juno's mission is to study this gas giant's gravity and strong magnetic field, its colorful aurora and swirling clouds, in order to reveal how Jupiter formed and how it has evolved since then.
