If you are worried about the #ESAEuclid satellite losing power during the upcoming #solareclipse, worry no more: all telescopes at Lagrange Point 2 (#Euclid and #JWST, formerly also #ESAGaia) have orbits designed to be free of solar eclipses. They simply are never in locations where the Moon could eclipse the sun.

The four Artemis II astronauts just set a record for human distance from Earth, 400.000 km. This also explains why "service" missions to #ESAEuclid, #JWST, or #ESAGaia are unlikely (and currently impossible): their location at the Sun-Earth L2-point is ~1.5 million km from here.

The ESA Gaia Mission spots Milky Way's most massive black hole of stellar origin!

The dormant black hole of 33 solar masses is less than 2000 light years from Earth!

🛰⭐️ The paper "Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from SIF image analysis - Half a million new sources in omega Centauri" has been published in A&A

https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2023/12/aa47203-23/aa47203-23.html

This paper adds more than half a million new #GaiaMission stars in the core of ω Centauri

This is possible thanks to the service interface function of Gaia's Sky Mapper instrument

We would *love* to have one, but currently there is none actually on the horizon.

#ESA has a number of 3D model formats for download (none for printing yet):

👉 https://scifleet.esa.int/model/euclid (go to downloads)

And ESA's scifleet compilation has paper models at least for some missions, e.g. #esagaia

Coming Monday (31. July) we will declare "First Light" for #ESAEuclid 🛰️ and show the first engineering images that the #VIS and #NISP instruments 📷 have taken of the sky, using a fully focussed telescope! 🔭

Yay! 🥳

That said, #Euclid has now also arrived at its ultimate distance from Earth, circling around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 😎🌏🛰️ - joining #ESAGaia and #JWST:

During our 6-year sky survey, #ESAEuclid 🛰️ will transmit huge amounts of data 💽 - for being 1.5 million kilometers away from 🌎 Earth: up to 100 GB are downlinked every day, more than twice than what #JWST or #ESAGaia transmit.

How fast is your internet? #ESAEuclid is downlinking 📡 its data with up to 75 megabits per second. How that works and what tech is needed for that you can read in this #ESA background article:

Happy after showing how real-time exploration of the Milky Way stars in an array cube of 7.3 TB can be done in a laptop with 8 GB RAM and 15 GB of free disk space thanks to #ESAGaia data and the magic of #compression via #Blosc2. Also shown how #Btune helps immensely in determining the best combination of filters and codecs for achieving best #performance or cratio.
Thanks to the attendees; it has been a great experience! #SciPy2023
