This year's #IWFGraz colloquium series starts on Thursday, 16 January, 2 pm, with Charlotte Götz from @northumbriauni.bsky.social, Newcastle, UK, who will present her research on the magnetospheres of unmagnetized bodies, such as cometary plasma environments:

#OTD 14 January 2005, ESA’s #Huygens probe made history as it touched down on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. This was humankind's first successful landing on a world in the outer Solar System. Relive those moments with this narrated video made with Huygens data 🔭👇

📽️ Relax and enjoy #BepiColombo’s views as it flew gracefully around Mercury on 7-8 January 2025.

🎼Playing in the background is 'The Hebrides Overture' by Felix Mendelssohn - can you guess why? 🔭

In @naturecomms.bsky.social präsentieren #IWFGraz-Forscher erfolgreiche Entfernungsmessungen zu Satelliten und #Weltraumschrott unter Verwendung eines Megahertz-Lasers 👇

Daten aus dem All! Wenige Stunden vor dem 6. und letzten #Merkur-Vorbeiflug der #ESA-Raumsonde #BepiColombo analysiert das #IWFGraz bereits die ersten Daten von #SERENA-#PICAM, um mehr über die Sonnenaktivität herauszufinden. Später wird sich PICAM dann auf Merkurs #Exosphäre konzentrieren.

Gratulation zum erfolgreichen 6. und letzten Merkur-Vorbeiflug und gute Weiterreise #Bepi, #Mio und #MTM 👋

My teams are working hard to get our next #ESA Science mission ready for launch, in collaboration with colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The joint European-Chinese #SMILE mission will study Earth's global magnetic environment & the Sun-Earth connection. www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

What an incredible year for our #ESA Science Programme; from stunning and scientifically important #BepiColombo and #JUICE planetary flybys, to the first large mosaic image release from #Euclid, and much more. Take a look at our #ESA agency wide highlights for 2024: www.esa.int/About_Us/ESA...
