Hello there 🖖🏻
I’m French, space engineer and astrophysicist. I used to work on exoplanets atmosphere with #JWST. Now, I am the #ATHENA study manager at ESA.
I live in the Netherlands, and I love cycling, botanical photography and crochet.
My feed is full of universe pictures, so here’s a tulip 💐

Go #NewATHENA ! 🚀
Athena was selected as the second large mission of #CosmicVision, and was later rescoped as #NewAthena.

NewAthena will be the largest X-ray observatory ever built. It will investigate some of the hottest & most energetic phenomena in the Universe with unprecedented accuracy and depth.

I’ve seen this shared several times with the header and footer not visible, so you can’t see the artists’s name.

Magnifique composition de Jordi Coy (astrocoy.com) qui montre bien que :

- oui, la Lune change de couleur quand elle s'élève au-dessus de l'horizon, mais que

- non, elle n'est pas plus grosse à l'horizon que lorsqu'elle plus haut dans le ciel.

Je sors très rapidement de ma retraite des réseaux sociaux de fin d'année pour vous prévenir qu'un orage géomagnétique d'intensité modérée à forte pourrait provoquer de belles aurores pour le réveillon du Nouvel An.

“Any advanced civilization would be indistinguishable from nature.”
An explanation for the Fermi Paradox is the "Sustainability Solution." We don't see advanced civilizations because exponential growth and expansion are unsustainable. Any advanced civilization would be indistinguishable from nature. Which makes them hard to find.

Quelle image incroyable de Pluton côté nuit par la sonde New Horizons.
Elle révèle l'atmosphère de la planète naine et quelques reliefs à sa surface !

As this place gets busier, I highly recommend the following Feeds: OnlyPosts (filters out reposts), Quiet Posters (highlights posts+replies from your follows that don’t get much likes etc) , and The ‘Gram (posts from your follows that feature images, great for following artists and pet pictures).
