A me-occultation 🤪
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".

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
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. 🔭🧪
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.

Thank you, Luke! It was wonderful of you to take the time to join. I hope you had a good week in Bern so far.
