During the first step of humankind’s first-ever lunar-Earth flyby, ESA’s Jupiter
Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission captured this stunning view of the Moon.

The image was taken by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) at 23:25 CEST on 19
August 2024, soon after Juice made 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 shows some sign of real colour differences in the large-scale features
on the lunar surface.

The Juice monitoring cameras were designed to monitor the spacecraft’s various
booms and antennas, especially during the challenging deployment period
following launch.

They were not designed to carry out science or image the Moon. A scientific
camera called JANUS is providing high-resolution imagery during the cruise phase
flybys of Earth, Moon and Venus, and of Jupiter and its icy moons once in the
Jupiter system in 2031.

JMC1 is located on the front* of the spacecraft and looks diagonally up into a
field of view that sees deployed antennas, and depending on their orientation,
part of one of the solar arrays. JMC images provide 1024 x 1024 pixel snapshots.
The images shown here are lightly processed by Simeon Schmauß and Mark
McCaughrean.

*Additional technical information: ‘front’ means +X side of the spacecraft (the
opposite side, -X hosts the high gain antenna). JMC1 looks towards the +Y/+Z
direction.
