The end of a journey, the start of arrival 🛰️🌑☀️
After 8 years of solar electric propulsion, @esa.int’s BepiColombo switches off SEP as it enters its Mercury arrival phase!
What’s next? MTM separation, orbit insertion and a bold new chapter around the innermost planet! 🎉
Morning Glory. Chicago Harbor like glass reflecting Sunday's sunrise and the skyline.

BepiColombo has switched off its solar electric propulsion as the trio Bepi, Mio and MTM draw closer to Mercury.
Meanwhile, on the ground, teams across ESA, JAXA and industry are rehearsing the next critical step for these space adventurers: arriving at Mercury.
Stay tuned! 🔭 🧪

This wind, powered by cosmic collisions of galaxies, could quickly blow away all the fuel for new stars, leaving the galaxy on the brink of death and helping to solve one of the biggest mysteries in modern astrophysics.
