Juno would go on to enter Jupiter's orbit in July 2016.

[3] Before Juno entered it, it was encountering about 16 solar wind particles per cubic inch of space. [3]
In creating geographical maps for Wikipedia, it is often useful to have high-quality source material such as blank outline maps, Adobe Photoshop or GIMP-format images with layers, SVG files and so on. If you have such source material that you think may be helpful to other map authors, please feel free to upload it to Wikipedia and list it here.
