This is a copy and past...well some of it is.

Once again - this is for "up freaks - propeller heads" ..."Keepers of the Night and Dark Sky Friends"
Today – July 4, 2016 – NASA’s Juno spacecraft will fire its main engine for 35 minutes, slowing the craft and moving it from its beeline through space into orbit around Jupiter. Launched from Cape Canaveral in 2011, after traveling through space for five years, the solar-powered Juno craft will begin the maneuver – called Jupiter Orbit Insertion – as Independence Day fireworks are streaming through U.S. skies on July 4 at 8:18 p.m. PDT (July 5 at 0318 UTC; translate to your time zone). Juno will become the first craft to enter Jupiter orbit since Galileo, which arrived in 1995 and spent eight years moving around the giant planet.
To follow along as Juno makes its journey into Jupiter orbit, watch NASA TV live coverage beginning July 4 at 7:30 p.m. PDT (July 5 at 0230 UTC; translate to your time zone but 10:30 for we'uns on the East Coast).

This is the live NASA sight - I keep this playing all of the time when in the studio. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public

Nikonshooter, thanks for the headsup. This should be a big time interesting mission.
It's nice to know we're still out in the void trying to learn things!
Happy Fourth to you, and wishing you clear night skies.
