TL;DR Summary

Airbus Space's robotic telescope captured footage of Europe's JUICE Jupiter probe, which is on an eight-year journey to the Jupiter system to investigate the Jovian atmosphere and its physics, as well as study the Jupiter ocean moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. The footage shows JUICE at its center surrounded by bright specks, which are background stars, and was captured when the spacecraft was nearly 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. JUICE will arrive at the Jovian system in July 2031 after several gravity boosts from Earth, the moon, and Venus.
