Juno was something about radar - penetrating the cloud layers to see what was below.

In college my son worked on the FFT engine that processed the radar data. He has code circling Jupiter!

That would be a hilarious (and confusing) bumper sticker. When other parents say “my son is an honour student” you can smugly reply “yeah, but does he have code circling Jupiter?”

Congratulations, by the way. I’m being (trying to be) funny but I genuinely think that is cool and a reason to be proud.

On the other hand, depending on their development, the Jovians might think that everything at all is circling Jupiter. :D
