NASA scientists successfully guided an unmanned spacecraft into orbit around Jupiter, so it can begin a 20-month mission gathering data on the solar system’s largest planet. The Juno spacecraft was traveling at about 130,000 miles an hour as it approached the gaseous planet, which is the fastest any human-made craft has ever traveled. The $1.1 billion mission, launched on Aug. 5, 2011, would be the first to probe the inner core of Jupiter, whose volume is more than 1,300 times that of Earth.
