The GIF animates the moment Nasa mission control confirmed the solar-powered spacecraft had withstood intense radiation and dodged space rocks to place itself in orbit around the gas giant. Nasa's pixelated ground crew jump with glee in the Doodle as Juno beams back its emoji celebration from 500 miles away.
They've got a lot to smile about. Over its five-year voyage to the largest planet in our solar system, Juno has travelled 1.8 billion miles reaching speeds of about 165,000mph, making the spacecraft the fastest man-made object in existence.
Oh snap! Juno sends back its first images of Jupiter while in orbit
To 'catch' Jupiter's orbit, Juno had to slam on the brakes by burning its thrusters for 35 minutes until it was moving slow enough to enter an elliptical 53-day orbit around the planet.
The next crucial part of the mission will come in mid-October when Juno completes a second burn to bring it much closer to the gaseous atmosphere of surface where it will uses its sensing instruments to analyse the composition of the Jovian atmosphere.
Its primary goal is to reveal the story of Jupiter's formation and evolution. In particular, Juno will give humans the first glimpse below the dense clouds of Jupiter. The data collected from the mission will let researchers learn more about the planet than ever before. It will take the highest resolution images of Jupiter in history and is the first mission to orbit an outer-planet from pole-to-pole.
The craft will study the planet's gravity and magnetic fields, atmosphere, and what drives the planet's evolution.
During its time at Jupiter the spacecraft will orbit Jupiter 37 times. Nasa said: "During the almost one-and-a-half-year science phase of the mission, the spacecraft will execute a close flyby above the planet’s cloud tops every 14 days."
