During the first step of humankind’s first-ever lunar-Earth flyby, ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission captured stunning views of the Moon.
Juice took these images with its onboard monitoring cameras just before midnight CEST on 19 August, around its closest approach to the Moon.
This successful flyby of the Moon slightly redirected Juice’s path through space to put it on course for a flyby of Earth on 20 August 2024.
The image below was taken by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) at.
