ESA's JUICE Spacecraft Captures Stunning Images of Earth and Moon

The flyby tested JUICE's high-resolution camera, preparing it for its mission to study Jupiter's icy moons.

The JUICE spacecraft used Earth's gravity to adjust its trajectory toward Jupiter.
High-resolution images of Earth and the moon were captured by the JANUS camera during the flyby.
The flyby served as a critical test for the camera's performance and data processing techniques.
JANUS will map Jupiter's moons with unprecedented detail once the spacecraft arrives in 2031.
The mission aims to study the atmospheres and surfaces of Jupiter's icy moons.
