A new study involving #MPSGoettingen scientists has analyzed spectroscopic data of #Jupiter's atmosphere recorded by #Herschel. These provide new insights into the trace element composition and its D/H ratio. More (open access): aanda.org/articles/aa/ab… A&A journal ESA Herschel

To send #ESAJuice straight to Jupiter would have required an impossible amount of propellant. So instead, Juice is taking the scenic route, using the gravity of the Moon, Earth and Venus to adjust its course. The first flyby is due on 19–20 August👇esa.int/Science_Explor…

At 16% of the journey to Jupiter, #ESAJuice is getting ready for its first major manoeuvre: a lunar-Earth flyby that will break records. Follows us on 19-20 August.

📌 Real-time pinpoint accuracy is going to be required in all navigation manoeuvres as #ESAJuice approaches the Moon and then Earth on 19 and 20 August respectively. Here's the full trajectory of this daring manoeuvre 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

Flyby ahoy! 🔭🛰️ On 19-20 August, ESA's Juice mission will use the Moon’s & Earth’s gravity to alter its trajectory through the Solar System. The spacecraft will pass as close as 6800 kilometres to our planet & 750km to the lunar surface. 🌔🌍 1/3

👉count down for the world's firsts lunar-Earth flyby! Follow up live the news tonight from ESA youtube or X channels. Our SWI will be switched on and will perform ~56 hours of operations from tonight till 23rd of August.🤞 Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research ESA's Juice mission

Good news from last night: 👉JUICE Lunar Gravity Assist successful! 👌And, SWI operationes went smooth! ⏰Tonight JUICE will visit Earth at an altitude of 6800 km. Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research ESA's Juice mission

When the journey is as exciting as the destination 🛰️ 🌒 #ESAJuice captured stunning views of our Moon, as it zipped by last night. 🌏 In the background, a photobomber: our very own Earth, eagerly waiting for its own close encounter with Juice tonight. Explore the images at
