Prof. Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez #Comet #220P McNaught imaged tonight after the cleaning rain experienced over #Catalonia the last week. Soon in #MNRAS our work on the 2 outbursts experienced since its perihelion, producing this fan of debris in a heterogenous clumpy tail & antitail🤩☄️ #MontsenyObservatory #S50 #PlanetaryScience
Dr. JB Vincent Today marks the 2-years anniversary of the launch of @esa.int Hera mission ! Only a few weeks of cruise left before Hera reaches its target: asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos :D #PlanetaryScience
Nereide You are looking at the dunes of Endurance Crater on #Mars, in this approximate true-color panoramic camera image, highlighting the reddish-colored dust present there. What a fascinating geological phenomenon! science.nasa.gov/resource/end... 🔭🧪⚛️ #planetsci #HistSci
Alejandro Soto There's a new public webinar about lunar science and exploration. The first talk is about the science that drives our lunar exploration from Apollo to Artemis. See the QR code in the attachment or the URL in the alt text. #planetaryscience
Ele Willoughby Day 4 of #spacetober_challenge is Mercury, so I am sharing my mini #linocut prints of Mercury, part of a series of mini print planets. #sciart #printmaking #spaceArt #Mercury #planetaryScience 🧪🐡🔭
AkaSci The real reason for the multiple Earth flybys of the (forgetful) ESA Juice spacecraft 😜. xkcd #3304: Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer @science.esa.int www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.p... #PlanetSci
Nereide 19 January 2007, natural color. Not a single frame: 36 wide-angle shots from #Cassini, assembled later. Spacecraft was ~1.23 million km from #Saturn. Image scale 70 km/pixel. -> science.nasa.gov/photojournal... 📷NASA/JPL/SSI 🔭🧪⚛️ #planetsci #histsci #astronomy #science
Simeon Schmauß I hinted that there would be more images from the Juice flyby, so here is the timelapse of the full event! It's always amazing to get these views of our fragile Blue Marble from the spacecraft we send out to explore the solar system! 🔭🧪 #planetsci
ESA Space Science A successful Earth flyby improves Juice’s course to Jupiter Earlier today, Juice flew just 8640 km above the Indian Ocean and snapped these images with its onboard monitoring cameras. 1️⃣Africa, by Juice monitoring camera 2️⃣Madagascar, by Juice NavCam 3️⃣Moon, by Juice NavCam 🔭 🧪 #planetsci
Nereide Think you know Jupiter? In ultraviolet light, it can look like almost another planet. Dark poles, a dark Great Red Spot, one bright oval that fades. #Hubble reveals clouds and hazes the eye cannot see. 📷NASA, ESA, Hubble, Judy Schmidt apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap18101... 🧪🔭⚛️ #planetsci #astronomy
