Jupiter Probe Gets by with Blender's Worth of Energy

NASA's Juno probe has traveled nearly 1.8 billion miles (2.8 billion kilometers) through space to reach Jupiter and study the planet's history, yet this impressive probe needs only about the same amount of power as a blender, according to NASA. After a five-year journey, Juno is scheduled to reach the Jupiter system on July 4. In addition, Juno is now the world’s "most distant solar-powered spacecraft," NASA said.
