NASA's Juno spacecraft is scheduled to enter into orbit around JupiterMonday night (July 4), ending its nearly five-year trek to the solar system's biggest planet.

The key event Monday is a 35-minute engine burn at 11:18 p.m. EDT (0318 GMT on Tuesday), which is designed to slow Juno down enough to be captured by Jupiter's powerful gravity.

If something goes seriously wrong with this burn, the solar-powered Juno will zoom right past the gas giant, and the science goals of the $1.1 billion mission — which include mapping the gravitational and magnetic fields of Jupiter, and characterizing its internal structure — will go unachieved.

Here's a primer on how Juno's highly anticipated Jupiter arrival should go down Monday night, along with a few notes about what to expect from the mission over the longer term.-read more

Debbie Merritt Independent Family Celebrant

Ceremonies can be tricky things these days. Whatever type of ceremony you are looking for, there is so much choice, and all too often the available options aren’t quite perfect.

Here I come to your rescue! All my ceremonies are personally written for you. I do, obviously have a number of basic scripts, but I will work with you so that you can choose what you want included and excluded. I mostly work in Devon and Cornwall, but can travel elsewhere on request.

My aim is that whatever the occasion, as many of your friends and family can join in as you wish. I create roles so that those who wish to take an active part can do so. I know from feedback from my clients that this is what makes the ceremony so special, and that those who have had a special part to play remember it especially fondly. There are the inevitable fluffs of words etc. that bring joy and laughter to the occasion. Children are especially welcome, and I can create roles for them too.

I am an experienced celebrant, and am happy to work with you whatever faith or no faith you may be.

My wedding blessings have been described as Celtic Spiritual weddings, make of that what you will, but I am delighted!

I draw upon my own spiritual journey to create the magic and mystery that makes true ceremony so special. I do not believe in ‘going through the motions’ of a ceremony any more than you do, and know that my clients are looking for something deep and meaningful.

**Please note that I am not a Registrar, so my ceremonies have no standing in law**-read more

Edwardian Insects on Film

In 1908 amateur naturalist Percy Smith stunned cinema goers with his surreal film The Acrobatic Fly. Featuring a bluebottle juggling a series of objects, the film became front page news. Now wildlife cameramanCharlie Hamilton-James attempts to recreate this fascinating film.

Along the way, Hamilton-James (helped by Sir David Attenborough, who saw Smith's films as a boy) tells the story of Percy's remarkable career and reveals the genius behind this forgotten pioneer of British film.watch link
