Japan's Hayabusa2, which had been flying in space for nearly six years to tag and collect a sample from the asteroid Ryugu, dropped a small capsule containing fragments of space rock here on Earth for study.
Last week, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) opened the capsule and for the first time exposed the precious space cargo to the world. And a surprise was in store. The photos are the climax of the mission Hayabusa2, which ended a five-year journey on February 21, 2019,
when it landed on asteroid Ryugu. In June, 2018, the spacecraft arrived within the Ryugu range and spent more than a year circling its rocky companion, gathering Ryugu observations and photos until its final touchdown.

Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"

(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):
Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!

Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).

France is disappointed.🙁

Although they certainly can make it happen.
Meanwhile in #Switzerland:
(excess mortality of the second wave is significant)

Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

最近のMは、先に現地入りしている先発隊の写真をUPしていますが、Mは後発隊なので、現在アデレードで隔離期間中です。
そんなMの隔離期間も折り返しになり、残りの期間を利用した企画を始めてみました。

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"
kreis-vg.de Image
In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

(Overlooked that myself, hence deleted earlier tweet)

People from #Gütersloh district may have to scrap all their holiday plans anyway...

An official #Lockdown is just being announced for the entire district.
(for one week, as of now)

There will be a #Hayabusa2 post-touchdown press conference at 2:00 UTC today (tonight), streaming at - I reckon it'll be in Japanese only. (And 15 minutes after the #Falcon9 lift-off if that happens on time - space action around the clock ... :-)
Nothing noteworthy noted while @haya2e_jaxa was at "gate 5", so it's returning to its standard parking position in 20 km distance from #Ryugu now - the webcast is over, and it's unlikely we'll learn more before the press conference in 1 1/2 hours.
Looks like at we will get the #Hayabusa2 post-touchdown press conference at the top of the hour with an *English* translation. (While at the @SpaceX webcast should still be running - just not enough time for so much space ... ;-)

La France sur Mars. A Thread.
#SEISsurMars #Insight #MarsLAnding
Comme vous le savez certainement, ce lundi un instrument français🇫🇷, SEIS (@InSight_IPGP) se pose sur Mars, amené par la sonde américaine @NASAInSight. Mais ce n'est pas le premier œil français sur cette planète.
Soyons honnêtes, si la France a rapidement eu une fusée en état de marche, l'exploration planétaire c'est compliqué. Du coup, Mars est resté très longtemps la chasse gardée (et l'objet d'une rivalité) des américains et soviétiques.
