Those are some great pictures. Will the probe be able to tell us anything about the atmosphere as it crashes to the surface?

Yes it will beam back back lots of relative information. Juno's mission is to measure Jupiter's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. It will also search for clues about how the planet formed, including whether it has a rocky core, the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere, mass distribution, and its deep winds, which can reach speeds of 618 kilometers per hour (384 mph).
