Juno Closes in on Jupiter

This is the final view taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft before its instruments were powered down to prepare for orbit around Jupiter. Juno obtained this color view on June 29, 2016, at a distance of 3.3 million miles (5.3 million kilometers) from Jupiter. The spacecraft approached Jupiter's north pole, providing an unprecedented perspective on the Jupiter system, including its four large moons.
