Pale Blue Dot

On October 13th, NASA’s Juno probe, which is scheduled to arrive at Jupiter on Independence Day 2016, made a ‘slingshot’ flyby of Earth in order to boost its velocity. Using some low-res calibration cameras, it took a time-lapse movie of its approach to the Earth-Moon system.

I don’t know why NASA is bothering with Jupiter, given its Prime Directive, but I suppose Mr. Bolden & co. know what they’re doing.

Anyway, have a look here.
