    Juno flys by Earth

    Check out the left panel—you can see the moon pass behind earth.



    More info here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Sorry about the Vangelis soundtrack.

    Nothing wrong with Vangelis! ........ his movie sound tracks are just awesome! ......but his "Heaven and Hell" album is of specific note and his "Blade Runner" sound track of course speaks for itself.....
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    Great find. Also in the linked to story:

    Also during the flyby, Juno's Waves instrument, which is tasked with measuring radio and plasma waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere, recorded amateur radio signals. This was part of a public outreach effort involving ham radio operators from around the world. They were invited to say "HI" to Juno by coordinating radio transmissions that carried the same Morse-coded message. Operators from every continent, including Antarctica, participated.The results can be seen in this video clip: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/?id=1263 . A four-minute video depicting the efforts of a few of the amateur radio operators who participated in the event can be seen at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/?id=1262
    Parts of Heaven and Hell were used by Carl Sagan for the Cosmos theme IIRC.

    Another attempt to fool the public. In those videos, the Earth looks round. We all know better.

    I actually participated in that. It was pretty cool.

    I guess I have a grudge against Vangelis because my ex-wife, Dracula's Daughter, was a total devotee. Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies , though, despite the fact that he did the music for it.

    BTW, if you haven't seen the director's cut of Blade Runner, by all means do so. It's a totally different (and better) movie than the theatrical version.

    On further review, I have to revise my OP—the moon actually passed in front of the Earth.
