Summary

Description
English: The JANUS camera onboard ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) is designed to take detailed, high-resolution photos of Jupiter and its icy moons.
JANUS will study global, regional and local features and processes on the moons, as well as map the clouds of Jupiter. It will have a resolution up to 2.4 m per pixel on Ganymede and about 10 km per pixel at Jupiter.
This image of our own Moon was taken during Juice’s lunar-Earth flyby on 19 August 2024. The main aim of JANUS’s observations during the lunar-Earth flyby was to evaluate how well the instrument is performing, not to make scientific measurements.
