The image was captured by on board camera called JunoCam on 26th August 2011 and it was part of one of various tests conducted by Juno after it’s launch to see the spacecrafts progress.

It is a geosynchronous communications satellite operated by Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission. It was launched on 11 August 2011 aboard a Long March 3B/E carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in China's Sichuan province. It is expected to replace PAKSAT-1 in geostationary orbit at 38° East. Related posts:

CMEs are billion-ton clouds of solar plasma launched by the same explosions that spark solar flares. When they sweep past our planet, they can cause auroras, radiation storms, and in extreme cases power outages. Tracking these clouds and predicting their arrival is an important part of space weather forecasting. Related posts:

This photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the moon, the moon was artificially brightened so that both bodies would show clearly in the prints. Related posts:

The resulting rapidly changing electric fields or magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges. [...] Related posts:
