The European Space Agency's JUICE spacecraft, bound for Jupiter, has completed another close passage of Earth. The flyby, highlighted by CNES, uses Earth's gravity to adjust the probe's trajectory toward the Jupiter system, where it will study the giant planet and its icy moons. Space observers are sharing details of the manoeuvre and its precision.
Why now: The JUICE mission's Earth gravity-assist flyby is a notable milestone in its journey to Jupiter, drawing space community attention.
