For those of you who don't know
Juno is a probe that has been sent to examin Jupiter at quite a close range. But it entered safe mode Tuesday, Oct. 18 at about 10:47 p.m. PDT.
During its mission of exploration, Juno soars low over the planet's cloud tops -- as close as about 2,600 miles (4,100 kilometers). During these flybys, Juno probes beneath the obscuring cloud cover of Jupiter and studies its auroras to learn more about the planet's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere.

Juno Has now exited safe mode !!
And is preparing for its close fly by which will happen on December 11th
This is massive for the science community as we have never had any probe this close to jupiter with such sophisticated data collecting hardware.
Scott Bolton, principal investigator of Juno from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio said
"We are all excited and eagerly anticipating this next pass close to Jupiter,” and “The science collected so far has been truly amazing."
