Proba-3's Coronagraph spacecraft passed its 'fit check' with the launcher adapter that attaches it (& its fellow Occulter spacecraft) to its @ISRO PSLV-XL launcher. The pair will form artificial solar eclipses in orbit esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…
A new @esa-backed study shows that the extreme heatwaves of 2023, which fuelled huge wildfires and severe droughts, also undermined the land’s capacity to soak up atmospheric carbon. This diminished carbon uptake drove atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to new highs,…
Can you believe it has been 10 years since we landed on a comet? On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, our Rosetta mission’s lander Philae made history by touching down on a comet for the first time.…
🥳 Happy New Year, Mars! 📅 At 10:32 CET/09:32 UTC, the Red Planet begins another orbit around the Sun. It's year 38 on Mars. 🔴🔁🌍 A year on Mars vs Earth esa.int/Science_Explor…
The Proba-3 team are in place at @ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) in India, along with their two eclipse-making spacecraft. You can follow their launch preparations in our mission blog: blogs.esa.int/proba-3/
📸 This week’s new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope depicts the cosmic tangle that is MCG+05-31-045. This is a pair of interacting galaxies are a part of the Coma galaxy cluster, a particularly rich cluster which contains over a thousand known galaxies. Several can…

457 new near-Earth asteroids were discovered in October 2024, making it the most prolific month of the year so far for new discoveries! October also saw the 10th detection of a small asteroid prior to Earth impact. Sign up to ESA's #AsteroidNewsletter at: neo.ssa.esa.int/-/latest-newsl…
On the verge of making space exploration history at a comet over half a billion kilometres away and ten years from home, a critical component on a tiny lander fails; but when the difficult decision is given to attempt the landing anyway, and the lander goes missing after…
The first snowfall after a long time 🥹 Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak, has seen its first snowfall after one of the longest periods without snow since records began 130 years ago. This @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 image was captured on 7 November, just one day after snow was…
As well as making solar eclipses on demand, ESA's double-satellite Proba-3 mission - now readying for a December launch from India - will also perform ongoing monitoring of the Sun's energy output, an essential value for climate studies esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…
