#ESA #PlanetaryDefence hat jetzt endlich den ersten eigenen UFO-Verschwörungsmythos.
Congrats!
Wir lachen seit gestern herzlich darüber, ich habe es für Euch mal frisch gebloggt

8/10 Good news: we can actually deflect asteroids! NASA's DART mission successfully changed an asteroid's orbit by crashing into it. The European Space Agency is now sending follow-up observations. Planetary defence is becoming reality.
#DART #PlanetaryDefence
ESA's newest planetary defender has opened its eye to the cosmos for the first time
The Flyeye telescope’s ‘first light’ marks the beginning of a new chapter in how we scan the skies for new near-Earth asteroids and comets.

2/7 Despite the threat being downgraded, scientists seized the opportunity to study this potentially hazardous asteroid using Webb's powerful instruments, capturing it in both visible and thermal light.

It’s a question of when, not if, Earth will be hit by a large asteroid causing catastrophic consequences. How do we keep Earth safe? #PlanetaryDefence has innovative strategies, including kinetic impactors & nuclear deflection techniques, designed to alter the trajectory of these cosmic intruders. 🧪

Richard Moissl, head of #ESA’s #PlanetaryDefence office, 54:00 : We have a blaringly obvious blind spot. Something like #Chelyabinsk ☄️💥 could happen any moment right now, we wouldn't have any prewarning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8njR4413hok

Two men stand next to a large television display showing an artist's depiction of the Hera spacecraft passing by Mars. On a table next to one of the men astride a laptop are two cute dinosaur plushies, one a dark green T-rex, and the other a light blue herbivore, maybe a brachiosaur.
My favourite thing about these asteroid missions is the low-key implication that we are bigmad that space rocks wiped out the dinosaurs, and we are avenging their extinction with missions like DART and Hera.
#asteroid #esa #planetarydefence
Ramses and the Apophis flyby will be super exciting for #PlanetSci and #PlanetaryDefence. On top of all the detailed science, the closeness should allow near real-time streaming of HD video from the surface of the #asteroid at the same time as some parts of the world can see it from the ground!
Ever daydreamed about owning your own spaceship?
As the next best thing – thanks to a free app launching today – anyone with an Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3 or 3S VR headset can have ESA’s Hera asteroid mission for planetary defence turn up in their own living room. 🚀🛰️🌌

A BBC news by Georgina Rannard, who interviewed Mark Boslough, Patrick Michel and Kathryn Kunamoto about Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 #YR4, stored (but recently lowered) in the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids list.

According to new observations of ESA the ☄️ 🔭 impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 on December 22, 2032 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%.

Das brauchte ich heute morgen, um meinen Blutdruck etwas zu erhöhen.
Bin gestern mit Frauen u Männern von #ESA #PlanetaryDefence im vegetarischen Restaurant versackt u war noch etwas müde.
Ich kenne sooo tolle Frauen u Männer, die Großes leisten, da triggert mich so´n CDU-Blödsinn halt doch
Moin!
#PlanetaryDefence
Am 07.10 soll #ESA #HERA starten - d Raumsonde soll detailliert untersuchen, wie stark d von d Abwehr verursachten Schäden auf #Dimorphos sind.
Ziel: Asteroiden, die d Erde gefährden, rechtzeitig abzulenken.
Ich bin beim Launch im #ESOC dabei!
An asteroid around which orbit one big satellite and a smaller one
🚀On Oct 7, ESA’s 🛰Hera🛰 satellite will take off from Florida on a #planetarydefence mission against #asteroids.💥
With our GRASS instrument and other scientific studies and simulations, the Royal Observatory of Belgium has made a significant contribution to Hera. www.astro.oma.be/en/hera-laun... 🧪🔭
