Space: Hello, world - Juno's got you on film
NASA's Juno spacecraft was able to snap images of Earth and the Moon as it flew by at a distance of roughly 600,000 kilometres (966,000 miles) on October 9. When flying past, the spacecraft received a boost in speed of more than 8,800 mph (14,100 km/h).
Juno's cameras are located near the pointed tip of one of its three solar-array arms. These cameras look away from the sunlit side of the solar array, so that as Juno approached, the four cameras pointed toward Earth, allowing for the images to be taken.
Juno is set to rendezvous with the planet Jupiter on July 4, 2016.
