Take a trip via YouTube to Jupiter, the planet that shares a name with Jupiter Road NE in Fridley.

Just last month, NASA launched the Juno probe to go deep into Jupiter's mysterious atmosphere.

The gaseous orb may be big, but it doesn't have play equipment like Sylvan Hills Park, which lies to the east alongside Jupiter Road's entire one-block length.

Thanks to Courtney Rathke for suggesting GPS FRIDLEY take a trip to Outer Space at the Fridley Patch Facebook page

On earlier voyages, GPS FRIDLEY has explored the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. (namesake of the Georgetown on the River apartments in Fridley) and Lake Windermere in England (which lends its name to Windermere Drive and Circle NE in Fridley).
