Juno’s flyby portrait of Earth
This false color composite shows more than half of
Earth’s disk over the coast of Argentina, South
America and the South Atlantic Ocean
as NASA’s Juno probe slingshotted by
on Oct. 9, 2013 for a gravity assisted
acceleration to Jupiter. The mosaic
was assembled from raw images
taken by the Junocam imager.
Juno will arrive at Jupiter on
July 4, 2016.
