Für alle im Raum Bern, welche morgen Freitag, 8. Mai um 16:30 noch nichts los haben, gebe ich an der @unibe.ch einen öffentlichen Vortrag über "die Lucy-Mission zu den Jupiter-Trojanern und was sie uns über die Entstehung des Sonnensystems sagen wird".

It‘s a beautiful day here in Bern and my first day as a professor at the @unibe.ch. Excited but also humbled about what is to come.
Wishing everyone a good start into this new week!
Any Sydney-based astronomers here? A team at Andalucia is coordinating an occultation campaign for one of Jupiter's small (2-5km) irregular moons, #Kallichore (a candidate for an #ESAJuice flyby) that'll be passing in front of a star at ~12:20UT on March 18th.

A me-occultation 🤪
Just arrived in Bremen, Germany, to go work on an ESA M8 mission proposal and the airport here has a beautiful model of the International Space Station (ISS) 🤩

It still seems unreal to me that humans will soon be flying back to the moon! They will be returning to Earth at a speed of 40.000 km/h, the fastest ever reentry of a crewed spacecraft.
This remastered video shows a similar reentry from the #Artemis 1 mission back in 2022 at 9x speed. 🔭🧪
I've ~stabilized a short piece. Awesome video! 👍
You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a gigantic jet #TLE from space?
Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 for the DTU/@science.esa.int Thor-Davis experiment. 🧪🔭

40 years ago, the Giotto mission was writing history:
🛰️ ESA's first deep space mission
☄️ first cometary close flyby
⏰ and later on, first reactivation of a spacecraft
The success of Giotto inspired our Rosetta mission and together laid the foundation for our Comet Interceptor mission. 🔭 🧪 1/3
