Is it for today? Go @ESA_JUICE🤞 Follow the live: piped.video/watch?v=EOaiO7nd… Here is one of the results of our last work in collaboration with @CNES and @LPG_Lab

How proud we are! Our #collaborative and #immersive software in use to train @Arno_astro @Astro_Rosemary and @Astro_Kanai ! Remote experts from @LPG_Lab and @GCC_Mars were connected to teach them how to apprehend martian terrains! #vr #Training #virtualreality #geology #Science

La sonde @BepiColombo 🇪🇺 dispose de plusieurs caméras pour vérifier le déploiement des instruments après le décollage, qui servent maintenant à obtenir de belles images lors des survols de Mercure. Voici une animation des images acquises hier soir par la Monitoring Camera 2 🎥

What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights. Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

It’s now official. @RCU_SA and @SETIInstitute announced their collaboration agreement as part of a long-term vision to further the development of AlUla Manara Observatory as a leading destination of the future, for space research, discovery and astro-tourism. More concretely instruments like @LaserSeti, education with @VR2Planets and citizen science with @Unistellar could be part of this project with the goal of reconnecting us to the sky. seti.org/royal-commission-al…

@RCU_SA announced its collaboration with @SETIInstitute to further develop the AlUla Manara observatory into a premier hub for astronomical and space science. Together, we will position AlUla as a leading destination for astro-tourism and science-based research.

Il y a 12 ans aujourd'hui, le rover Curiosity se posait dans le cratère Gale. Que de chemin parcouru depuis ! Je me souviens comme si c'était hier de la joie partagée avec le public de St-Hilaire-de-Riez où j'animais l'événement. Happy landiversary @MarsCuriosity 🎉

🚨Alerte générale ! Fermeture de route positionnée à Boca Chica pour le lancement numéro 4 de Starship le 1 juin !! 🚀 #spacex

#Fusion🔥| Nouveau record de fusion enregistré et obtenu dans le tokamak WEST : opéré sur le centre @CEACadarache, il a maintenu un plasma de fusion chaud d'environ 50 millions de degrés Celsius pendant un record de 6 minutes avec 1,15 gigajoules d'énergie injectée.🌡

Je confirme : très fière en tant que Française et Européenne. Et prête pour la suite !

Cette image acquise ce matin par la sonde Odysseus de la compagnie privée Intuitive Machines 🇺🇲 montre le cratère Bel'kovich K situé dans l'hémisphère nord de la Lune. D'un diamètre de 50 km, ce cratère est doté d'un beau pic central.

Ever wanted to dive deep into the #EnVisionMission and all its details? Then have a look at the EnVision Study Definition Report, also known as the Redbook. bit.ly/EnVisionRedBook This 175-page comprehensive document has just been published with the EnVision adoption by @esa.

New images confirm the #MarsHelicopter sustained rotor damage during Flight 72. Our helicopter has flown its final flight. Ingenuity defied the odds and captured our hearts. #ThanksIngenuity for showing us what’s possible when we dare mighty things. go.nasa.gov/3HvSPef

⚠Breaking space science news⚠ We have adopted two new ambitious space science missions: 🪐 EnVision: a bold mission to study Venus from its inner core to its outer atmosphere, giving important new insight into the planet's history, geological activity and climate targeted to launch in 2031. 🔗esa.int/Science_Exploration/… 〰️LISA: the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space targeted to launch in 2035. 🔗esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

ESA - We're heading for Venus: ESA approves EnVision esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

📢 @ESA adopts two ambitious space science missions: Venus voyager #EnVision and gravitational wave surfer #LISA. “These trailblazing missions will take us to the next level in two extraordinarily exciting areas of space science and keep European researchers at the forefront of these domains,” says ESA Director of Science @CGMundell The ‘adoption’ step recognises that the missions' concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. Both spacecraft are planned to launch with an #Ariane6

It’s official, I have been adopted! Time to celebrate!

Confirmation from my colleague Peter Jenniskens that four Polish meteorite hunters reported to have found fragments of the asteroid #2024BX1, which burned above Germany last saturday. Initial assessments are that they are Eucrites, pieces of the large main-belt asteroid Vesta.

This video shows a transit of the Sun by Mars' smaller moon Deimos in approximate real time—about 2 minutes—made from images captured with @NASAPersevere's Mastcam-Z on January 20, 2024 (mission sol 1037)

Good news today: We've reestablished contact with the #MarsHelicopter after instructing @NASAPersevere to perform long-duration listening sessions for Ingenuity’s signal. The team is reviewing the new data to better understand the unexpected comms dropout during Flight 72.
