NASA's Juno spacecraft will enter into orbit with the massive planet Jupiter on July 4, in a mission that scientists hope will shed light on the early origins of our home planet.
To raise awareness of the event -- which Mashable will be covering from mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory -- NASA released a slick, 360-degree video trailer on Thursday.
The narrated video explains the fact that the spacecraft will encounter an exceptionally hostile environment once it gets close to the gas giant, given the high amounts of radiation emanating from the planet.
Sadly, for Juno, this is a suicide mission, as the radiation will destroy the spacecraft's instrumentation after about 20 months in orbit.
