Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-7-2018: Juno What?

5th July, 2018.

Yes, it IS Thursday, isn’t it … ?

Which mean just one thing.

Yes.

I’m going to be taping Channel four series, Humans, tonight.

!

You’ve probably worked out that I’ve got an AppleTV.   And love it to bits.

I’m ALSO aware that Channel 4 has a good reputation for drama.

That’s certainly true.

My only problem?   Is simply that, while every other major TV channel in the UK has a catch up app available for the AppleTV, Channel 4 doesn’t.

Bit of a flaw, Channel 4.

If you’re reading this … ?

Well … 

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video … 

Q1) The Juno space probe arrived at Jupiter.   On 5th July of which year?

Q2) The probe was launched by which space agency … ?

Q3) The probe’s named for Jupiter’s wife.  She was what: a Greek goddess, a Roman goddess or a Sumerian Goddess?

Q4) The visible light camera on Juno was the … what?

Q5) Finally … ?   The Juno craft is powered with what: a nuclear generator, solar panels, or rubber bands?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1) 4th July is Independence Day in the USA.   The US is the United where of America?

A1) States.

Q2) How many of those where’s make up the USA: 48, 49 or 50?

A2) 50.

Q3) Which of those wheres is the largest … by area?

A3) Alaska.

Q4) Which of those wheres is the largest … by population?

A4) California.   (Alaska is third from the bottom.   It’s got a bigger population than Vermont, and Wyoming.)

Q5) Finally … Uncle Sam is one of the common symbols of the US.   Strictly?   Sam’s supposed to represent what?

A5) The US government.   (Supposedly, he’s named after Sam Wilson: a 19th Century meat packer who supplied the government.)

Here’s a thought …

“During its continued mission, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will maintain its 53-day polar orbit around Jupiter. At its closest, Juno passes within 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) of Jupiter’s cloud tops once during each 53-day orbit. At the high end of each orbit, Juno is about 5 million miles (8-million kilometers) from the planet – which is just beyond the orbit of the Jovian moon Themisto.”

From the NASA webpage about the probe.

And some Holst …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Oh, I knew gay conversion was legal, Olga: to me as a southpaw, though, it also seemed mildly daft.   Lord knows what the gay community as a whole think of it.   There’s a few dissenting voices, I know.   Didn’t the UN change the definition relatively recently?   I think it was in the late forties.   Always struck me as stupid: and on a par with calling me and other lefties, disabled … !   At ANY rate … !   Enjoy the ones you can catch up with!   I’m just quietly grateful for iPlayer Radio!

†        Glad to be able to help, there, Debbi!   And the subject’s always a rich one.   It’s also mildly disappointing we don’t have a UK equivalent.  Well … apart from — possibly — Remembrance Day!   I’ll have to bookmark that song.   Ok, the effect?   Was Photo Booth, again.   It’s not perfect, I know, but … … … … (How the HELL I got the audio …out … No, wait, I used HandBrake … !).  As for the calls … ?   I had another one in the afternoon … !   (I had one a couple of weeks ago: one of the old Windows Technical Department scams.   They put the phone down when I say I have a Mac …)
