Tesla Model 3 Tweet

When he’s not mapping out his plans for a future city on Mars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his company are building the next best car here on Earth. Musk recently tweeted the first released pictures of Tesla’s Model 3 fresh off the assembly line.

Tesla is aiming to sell the Model 3 for about $35,000 on the mass market. Musk is optimistic that the new product will generate five times the current annual sales volume of Tesla.

The Model 3 comes at a pivotal time for Tesla. Investors have been skeptical over Tesla’s future after concerns that the Model S sedan was experiencing a decrease in demand. After authorities eliminated a tax break on electric cars in Hong Kong, new registrations of Teslas considerably diminished.

Musk is confident that Tesla will be able to produce up to 20,000 copies per month by this upcoming December. This may be what Tesla needs to turn things around.

Jupiter’s Red Spot Revealed

Since the day of its discovery, Jupiter’s “Red Spot” has left scientists mesmerized and curious. Thanks to NASA’s Juno spacecraft, the scientific community is finally getting an up close look at the famous spot. 

The exploratory craft flew roughly 5,600 miles over the mountainous clouds of gas on July 10th, which is closer than has ever been explored before. 

The terrifying part is that Jupiter’s Red Spot is actually a storm larger than Earth itself that has persisted on Jupiter for centuries. "According to NASA’s Juno mission principal scientist Scott Bolton, "No scientists really understand exactly how that storm is created or why it could last so long.”

Besides taking photographs, Juno will carry scientific instruments to provide further analysis of Jupiter’s famous storm. Due to the spacecraft’s orbit, the probe will draw closer to Jupiter every 53 days. The Juno probe will be focusing on a different area of scientific study with every pass by. 

The data Juno collects probably won’t reach Earth for a few days due to the placement of it’s main antenna, but scientists could be on the verge of an otherworldly discovery.
