Five years ago, in 2011, NASA launched the unmanned probe in Jupiter’s diretion and it is about to enter the planet’s orbit in three days, on July 4.
“Juno will plunge into uncharted territory, entering orbit around the gas giant and passing closer than any spacecraft before,” NASA website details. “But first it must pass the trial of orbit insertion.”
What have Weezer been up to these days? The LA band is planning to return to the recording studio in autumn to work on their new album. The new effort reportedly might get a title ‘The Black Album’, following their self-titled 11th album, also known as ‘The White Album’.
“What could stand out more against ‘White’ than ‘Black’?” Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo posed a rhythoric question in a recent interview. “I think it’s going to maybe be like Beach Boys gone bad. I’m thinking of swearing, which is something I’ve never done in songs”, he added. “If it were a movie in the United States it would be rated R instead of PG.”
