Apart from things intentionally designed as weapons, is there any invention more horrible than the leaf blower?

Okey dokey, the first colour image of JUICE's flyby of Earth last night is out 📷

Some excellent work again by @stim3on to quickly process the available data ahead of ESA's scheduled 10:00CEST press release on the success of the joint Moon-Earth gravity assist 🌕🛰️🌏

More images should follow as they're downloaded & calibrated, including hopefully some time-lapse movies of both flybys – stay tuned 🙂👍

Next stop Venus ⚪️

I CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP

I should explain why this account is nearly 100% replies on other people’s posts.
