Extraterrestrial orbiters update?

What's the latest data telling us about Jupiter from Juno and about Venus from Akatsuki? Have we learned anything new and interesting lately? Viriditas (talk) 01:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Juno news is still being updated here. Akatsuki news hasn't had updates, but the old articles are still getting minor updates here. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 11:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that is very helpful. I will give both of those a look later tonight. Viriditas (talk) 22:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Do the Right Thing, one of the characters needs 20 D batteries for his boombox. What sort of boombox would require 20 D batteries, or was that simply a fictional exaggeration? How many and what kind of batteries would one expect to use for a boombox of the size shown in the movie? 2601:18A:C500:E830:526A:B17D:E5EF:4ACD (talk) 04:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is you would need 20 at a time because the 10 wouldn't last long enough. Viriditas (talk) 08:52, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
