> On later orbits, Juno will continue photographing the poles, but where else the camera will focus will be open to a popular vote by the public.

NASA has been pretty active in public outreach. The article indicates that Juno takes something like 4 photos an hour. I wonder whether it will be 1 photo for the public to 3 photos for science, or totally different?

Yeah I hand't realized they did this. Pretty cool! I hope the boaty mcboatface people don't get wind of it. They might crash it into the big red spot!
JunoCam is not there for science, but rather for public outreach.
