Summary: A NASA spacecraft was on
its way to Jupiter when it snapped a picture of what might be the
farthest-flung photo ever taken of the Big Dipper. When the photo was taken, the Juno Probe was already beyond
the orbit of Mars. NASA released
the image on Thursday May 10. The
Big Dipper is one of the most popular Northern Hemisphere celestial
landmarks. In England, the Big
Dipper is called “Plough” and in Germany it is called “Great Cart”.
Critique: I thought this was very
interesting because I the Big Dipper is one of my favorite constellations.
Impact: The impact of this is very
positive because now, we can see what the Big Dipper looks like from space and
what kind of pictures a space probe can take.
