💥 @esa and @NASA space telescopes further investigated #GRB221009A, the famous gamma-ray burst which might be the brightest since human civilisation began.

X-rays from the blast have illuminated 20 dust clouds in our galaxy, as seen by @ESA_XMM 👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

A mystery remains about the object that exploded to create the GRB. Astronomers used @ESA_Webb and @HUBBLE_space to look for the aftermath of the explosion, and found... nothing.

There is lots of follow-up work to be done as astronomers continue to search for the remains of the exploded star. One thing they will look for is traces of heavy elements like gold, thought to be produced in such massive explosions 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… #ExploreFarther

A 1h34 CEST la nuit dernière, @BepiColombo est passé à seulement 199 km de la surface de #Mercure, la planète rocheuse la plus proche du Soleil. Ce succès est le résultat de plusieurs mois de travail sur la trajectoire de la sonde pour son 1er rendez-vous avec sa planète cible. Image
@BepiColombo "C'était impeccable. Tout était parfait du point de vue de la sonde, et comme prévu, #BepiColombo a vraiment commencé à ressentir la chaleur," a expliqué Elsa Montagnon 🇫🇷, responsable des opérations de vol de la sonde @BepiColombo.

@BepiColombo #BepiColombo file actuellement vers le centre du Système solaire. A 56 millions de km du Soleil, par une température d'environ 110°C, il s'agit d'un tout nouvel environnement pour la sonde.

Are you ready for an early #Halloween story? Turn on your pumpkin lanterns, because the ghosts of our spacecraft past have a story to tell… 💀🛰👻🎃🤖☄️🕯 #RosettaLegacy #TrickOrTreat #MysteryStory
After years of detective work by #Rosetta & #Philae teams, the lander’s “missing” second touchdown site has been identified on #comet #67P, in a location that resembles the shape of a skull! 🔎💀😮 #RosettaLegacy
Full story👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
Philae left its imprint in billions-of-years-old ice, revealing that the comet’s icy interior is softer than #cappuccino froth or the foam in a bubble bath or on top of waves at the seashore ☕️🛁🌊#RosettaLegacy (photo courtesy @AstroEmz) Image

Today we'd like to share some fun facts about #Mars and our discoveries so far with #ESA Mars Express & @ESA_TGO. But first let's take a look at the @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos spacecraft currently investigating the Red Planet:
📷Hi-res: esa.int/spaceinimages/… #ExploreFarther
@ESA_TGO @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos Did you know there is a telecommunications network at #Mars? Orbiters relay commands and send #science data from landers & rovers back to #Earth. Our #ExoMars @ESA_TGO is a key provider of data relay services!🔴〰️🛰〰️🌍 #ExploreFarther
📷Hi-res: esa.int/spaceinimages/…
@ESA_TGO @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos Did you know that you can find out what the #weather is on #Mars? Landers & rovers report the local weather while orbiters keep an eye on global atmosphere developments including cloud formations and dust storms☁️🌪

We're welcoming @astro_luca to #ESRIN near Rome in Italy this morning for his final European press conference before he is launched to the @Space_Station in July! There're exciting times ahead for this seasoned @esa #astronaut 👨‍🚀 See more #MissionBeyond
We’re in the hall at #ESRIN as media are starting to gather. Did you know @esa establishment ESRIN is ESA’s centre for Earth observation? Last year the team celebrated its 50 year anniversary 🎉 @ESA_EO
