Catherine Cesarsky signing the Responsible Space Sector Charter, seated at a table with Andrea Vena.
At Paris Space Week, COSPAR Vice President Catherine Cesarsky signed the Responsible Space Sector Charter on behalf of COSPAR.
By joining this initiative, we reaffirm our commitment to the long-term sustainability of space activities and to supporting a responsible space sector.
I presented planetarium shows at the Theranos Christmas Party (in 2014)
There's just one day left to submit abstracts to join us at #COSPAR2026 in the city of Galileo: Florence, Italy .

Love is in the air... quite literally! 💕
We scanned the skies for a hint of romance, and weren't disappointed! Can you spot the heart-shaped clouds? 🤍🧐

A French colleague shared that he was looking forward to eating crepes tonight for Candlemas today and asked if any of us had traditions for it. And I, as the only American in the room, had to be like, "Well, ours is a little weird but..."

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress
Getting a positive one is almost concerning…
From all of us here to all of you out there, Happy New Year.
Science First !
Really cool! It lived up to my expectations and was a fascinating place to be for a few months (even if particle/theoretical physicists can be a bit out there sometimes. That was part of the fun tbh)
Exactly!
I don’t teach; I have an MSc in science communication and work mostly for intergovernmental science organisations in Europe (but not CERN anymore. I was only there for four months)
He told me he was learning Irish?
Yeah, just because something is true doesn’t make it intuitive or easy to understand, in this case precisely because things at that scale work so differently from at our macro scale.
(As context, at the time we were specifically talking about teaching students to read Feynman diagrams)
My first week at CERN I went to a lecture on particle physics education where they explained that the high schoolers will struggle with the idea that particles can be emitted before they are absorbed.
And all the physicists nodded as if they had never before realised that was a difficult thought.
The real question here is how many books did Trouby read?
We're happy to join ISC and other fellow affiliated bodies in standing up for global climate-change research.
Space research is key for understanding how our planet is changing, so reductions in funding will have lasting impacts on decision-making, including adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Do you know any teachers in #Cyprus? Help us spread the word about our Public Outreach and Education Weekend in Nicosia 8-9 Nov!
The free event includes introductions to authentic science programmes, plus networking with space educators and experts: www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/sessio... #STEM
But you will not improve them by gutting public services, leaving the EU or trying to be a European Trump. This is a gem of a place where we’re lucky to live; let’s keep it that way!

Bernard Foing and Professor Sergio Marchisio
Bernard Foing, of COSPAR SC B and PEX, has been busy in the run-up to the Symposium! Last week he promoted COSPAR at the 25th CIEP in Shanghai, China.
There he had the chance to help strengthen connections between China and the global space community, and to catch up with friends of COSPAR.

I hate that in 2025 the only way I can get help from a large corporation for a non-standard problem is to be mean to their AI chatbot until it panics and connects me to a human.
Am I mean to customer service when it’s a human? No.
Do I have to be when customer service is a chatbot? Yes.
🍂Happy #AutumnEquinox! We're getting our coats out of the closet and are ready to embrace longer but cosier nights. What are you looking forward to this season?

🥳PLATO, @esa.int's planet-hunting space telescope, has arrived at their ESTEC facility in the Netherlands, after its successful integration in Germany in June.
We're looking forward to the next steps, when its solar panels and sunshield are fitted ahead of the planned launch in 2026! 🔭 #Exoplanets
