I've read that Jupiter can shed a lot of light on the creation of our solar system. I understand that we think Jupiter was among the first planets to form, could you elaborate on what we could learn about Earth with new information we may obtain?
Thanks so much for doing this AMA.

At the end of the mission, Juno is scheduled to "de-orbit," AKA crash into Jupiter's surface.

Yes, especially considering how quickly Juno will be travelling at that point. The rest of the mission is exciting enough to make up for it though!

Right, good catch. Juno will learn first-hand whether Jupiter even has a core at all.
