00:06.500 --> 00:13.500
Escaping the gravitational pull of Earth, 
Juno is still held to its trajectory by the Sun's gravity.

00:19.000 --> 00:25.500
The Juno spacecraft is carried 50 million miles 
into space, as far as the orbit of Mars.

00:30.300 --> 00:37.300
A burn from the main engine directs Juno back 
toward Earth for a final encounter with its home planet.

00:43.300 --> 00:49.600
Using Earth's gravity for energy, Juno 
slingshots into space, increasing its speed

00:50.000 --> 00:57.700
and receiving the boost it needs to pull 
away from the Sun and coast all the way to Jupiter.
