Please excuse me for minor mistakes in grammar and expression.
I don't use Twitter and I cannot post messages, so I'd like to place a congratulatory address here on Juno spacecraft's successful arrival at Jupiter.
cf. http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasas-juno-spacecraft-in-orbit-around-mighty-jupiter
Also, a congratulatory address on one-year anniversary since New Horizons ' Pluto flyby.
Now, an artless question:
I understand that the purpose of Juno is revealing formation and evolution of Jupiter .
But may I expect some new pictures of Jupiter's moons?
Because I didn't know that Jupiter's moons had increased to 67 while I was unaware until I began to read about space exploration again.


As a result, while I was away from space exploration until I heard news thatreached the edge of the Solar System in summer 2012,
I missed achievement of Galileo spacecraft and beginning of Cassini-Huygens mission.
Also, failure of Nozomi unable to reach Mars and ended up in artificial planet, and long road to success of Hayabusa by our country.
But I came back last spring, and I found that now it's far easier to read website of NASA and ESA
Besides, library of motion pictures is substantial.
Since then, I obligate myself to read and watch about space exploration in English which specialized agencies provide directly
-But some articles are too difficult to read without Japanese explanation.
And it's lucky I didn't miss Pluto exploration by New Horizons spacecraft, and Cassini and Rosetta
I was glad when I saw news about Akatsuki working around Venus on website of NASA.
And...when I saw this picture on website of Cassini-Huygens mission , I thought that if the toy of Cassini spacecraft in this picture were actually sold, I would want one -or maybe I'd rather want Voyager and Juno if such toys were sold.
As I typed this manuscript to place today, I recalled that July 9 Voyager 2 made a closest approach to Jupiter in 1979 -Keep going, deserving the name!
cf. http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/fastfacts.html

I don't know whether I can take part in JunoCam community -or I've never thought of that, so I'm looking forward to discoveries by Juno.
Also, good luck on Dawn and New Horizons spacecraft on extended mission!
