As I was driving yesterday from Katwijk to Heidelberg, I didn’t have time to post about the successful second Earth flyby that ESA’s JUICE mission made on Monday, as part of its eight-year journey to Jupiter. So here’s one of the images of Earth (& the Moon 🙂) from the JMC monitoring cameras, beautifully processed by my friend @stim3on@fosstodon.org: they’re not simple RGB devices, so lots of skill & knowledge go into getting a true-colour view 👍 #spacescience #science #photography

Live at the Westport Observatory Tonight – 2/17! We’re welcoming Columbia University astrophysicist Yue Yu to the WAS classroom for a deep dive into frontier physics and the big questions still haunting the universe. Dark matter, next-gen experiments, and the kind of science that keeps theorists up at night. 👉 https://was-ct.org/events/yue-yu/ #Astronomy #SpaceScience #WAS #WestportObservatory #WestportAstronomicalSociety #ScienceLecture #DarkMatter #Physics #Columbia #IAXO

🚀 NEON is almost SOLD OUT. Our new high school STEM research program at the Westport Observatory has just a few spots left. Students in grades 9–12 work with professional-grade telescopes, analyze real data, and do real astronomical research — not a simulation. If your student is serious about STEM, sign up TODAY. 🔗 https://was-ct.org/programs/introducing-neon/ #NEON #STEM #Astronomy #WestportCT #StudentResearch #SpaceScience #HighSchoolSTEM #FutureScientists
