Treating migraines effectively might have gotten a lot easier, according to a new study published this month. Researchers at the Albany Medical Center claim that a new innovative treatment offers chronic migraine sufferers prolonged relief from the debilitating headaches.
It takes a space probe an average of 5 years to reach Jupiter-the latest one, Juno, was launched on 5th August 2011 and will not reach the Jovian system until 2016.
Let's take a look at all the spacecraft that have ever made this journey. The first spacecraft to ever cross the gulf from the Earth to Jupiter was NASA's Pioneer 10. It launched on March 3, 1972 and reached on December 3, 1973. That's a total of 640 days of flight time. But Pioneer 10 was just flying by, on its way to explore the outer solar system. It came within 130,000 km of the planet, took the first close up pictures ever taken of Jupiter, and then continued on into deep space for another 11 years before NASA lost contact.
