#Aeolus will be operated by @esaoperations via the ground station in Kiruna, Sweden. Scientific data will be downlinked to Svalbard, Norway, and sent to Tromsø for processing. Further processing will be done by @ECMWF in the UK, and @ESA_EO in Italy.

#Aeolus will provide global wind-profile data to improve our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and improve weather forecasts.

Our live launch coverage starts 23:00 CEST (21:00 GMT) esa.int/live
The #Aeolus satellite carries a special payload into space to measure Earth's winds: Aladin - the Atmospheric Laser Doppler Instrument. Find out more about how it will work ➡️📽️

Throwing this out there, to bring to forefront of groupthink consciousness again.

Remember: “ASSETS SEIZED...” #EO 12.21.17. Or, “Watch #resignations,” “follow the money/wives...”

#Panic looks like a lot of things; & surely as market violatility.

#Q #QAnon #Fed
I agree. Or deals being made as assets seized, put into holding patterns, or even total devaluation because of some companies/platforms not withstanding corruption purge, or false Bull-market in some cases to prey on fear or out of DS panic (I.e. commodities & gold spike.)
I think that even the #StockMarket will indeed, weather #TheStorm. But my hope is a “transfer of wealth out of a store rooms of hidden darkness” in the process. (Isaiah.) Some things must be shaken.

Greetings from @ESA's operations centre in Germany, where we're following the launch of #BepiColombo together with mission experts. The spacecraft are on the launch pad at Europe's #Spaceport in Kourou & in just over 1 hour will blast off into space. Destination: planet #Mercury
#BepiColombo is a collaboration between @ESA and @JAXA_en to explore the innermost planet in our Solar System. For a primer on #Mercury and the mission, here's a useful thread 👇
And for a unique "first-person" account, follow the three spacecraft accounts: @ESA_Bepi, @JAXA_MMO & @ESA_MTM

@cjjacobsJacobs @CDU @JuliaKloeckner @annewill 1. Various questions need to be asked:
a) Is the #earth getting warmer? Answer Yes (but was ven warmer in the past)
b) Human impact on climate (CO2)? A: Yes, but science differ on size of impact.
@cjjacobsJacobs @CDU @JuliaKloeckner @annewill 2.
c) #Germany produces 2% of all CO2 - So if we all live in tents tomorrow & only ride bicycles will it make a big difference? A: No, but the Chinese & Americans won't stop laughing!
#AnneWill #Klimawandel #ClimateChange
@cjjacobsJacobs @CDU @JuliaKloeckner @annewill 3.
So I like a debate on points a) to c) purely based on #science (and "a consensus of paid lobbyscientists" is not science, but politics) & come up with workable solutions.
PS: Currently #China produces around 26% of all man-made CO2.

Tonight at 10PM EST @frontlinepbs and @ProPublica are debuting a documentary that focuses on some of the people behind the events that took place in Charlottesville last August. I am going to live tweet some of the content while it airs on this thread.

propublica.org/article/propub…
It sounds like this documentary may have some good information; however, it may be impossible for many people to watch which is why I have decided to do a tweet thread to disseminate relevant information without the images.
This is the thread I am going to use for it so if you don’t want this content on your timeline, you can mute this thread now. To mute a thread, in the upper righthand corner, there is a triangle. Click it. Select “mute this conversation.” Here is a video instruction.
