Something doesn't add up.

It was less than 18 hours ago that this probe inserted into orbit around Jupiter. 18 hours is less than an Earth day. The 20 planned orbits around Jupiter this craft will use during its surveys will take 20 months. Even if this craft lost a lot of energy and momentum to the gravity well of Jupiter, why does the first orbit take less than one Earth day but the remaining 19 expect to take 599 days?

I think some reporter or editor got a little sloppy here.

Jupiter days last about 8.5 hours, as I recall. Very short days, high rotation rate, very turbulent fast, and hot atmosphere.
