A New Lease on Life for Juno and InSight

Fantastic news for space nerds! NASA has extended the Juno mission, which was scheduled to end later this year, until 2025, and detailed plans to send the spacecraft on investigatory flybys of Europa, Io and Ganymede. More stunning images and exciting science will be coming our way.

NASA has also extended the Mars InSight mission through the end of next year. InSight isn't as exciting as Juno, what with it just sitting there on Mars banging away at the ground, but it's still doing important work, and now more of it.
