At midnight between April 19 and 20, JUICE performed a small TCM (Trajectory Correction Maneuver), imparting a change of speed relative to the Sun of about 0.7 m/s, according to WebGeocalc.

In about one month (on August 19-20) JUICE will fly by the Moon and then Earth.
The double flyby, a first of its kind, will set JUICE on a course to Jupiter via a "shortcut" past Venus.

According to the latest JUICE LEGA timeline, JUICE will perform a two-hour long joint experiment together with HAARP starting about 14 minutes after closest Earth approach. EDIT: A brief summary (in Japanese) of the experiments conducted with JUICE's RPWI (Radio and Plasma Wave Instruments) during the flyby.

By now the Lunar flyby closest approach should have occurred. There's a live event in 20 minutes to present images (?)

First image is from navigation camera, just before eclipse, and is a not very exciting starfield.

("We don’t know how the images will look [...] we’re sharing them publicly before we’ve had a chance to process them at all"... is this wise, I wonder, given JUICE's personality in 17776)

Last image from JMC1 before handover from New Norcia, from ~1h ago, showing a sliver of lunar terminator with blockage from a radiator (see fields of view); contrast-stretched by me.
